A chunky display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and wedge-like terminals that read as small, triangular serifs. Strokes are heavy and sculpted with noticeable internal swelling and pinched joins, producing a lively, uneven rhythm across words. Counters are generally open but vary in size, and many curves (C, O, S) feel slightly faceted rather than smoothly geometric. Overall spacing and sidebearings appear intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing an animated, handmade texture at headline sizes.
Best used for short, prominent text such as posters, titles, book covers, packaging, and event graphics where the irregular texture can be appreciated. It can also work for themed UI labels or game/title screens, but it is likely to feel busy for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The tone is mischievous and eccentric, with a carved, folksy energy that feels closer to cut-paper or rough woodblock lettering than to formal typography. It suggests playful theatrics—lightly spooky, comedic, and a bit chaotic—making it well suited to attention-grabbing, characterful messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate an expressive, hand-shaped display style—more illustrative than typographic—prioritizing personality and silhouette over strict consistency. Its exaggerated terminals and uneven stroke behavior aim to create a memorable, theatrical voice for branding and titling.
Several forms show distinctive notches and angled stress, and the numerals follow the same irregular, sculpted logic as the letters. The texture becomes a dominant feature in paragraphs, where the uneven silhouettes create a rolling, bouncy color rather than a smooth typographic gray.
