A compact, heavy sans with chiseled, irregular outlines that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, with frequent angular bends, flattened curves, and slightly wobbly verticals that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are small and sometimes polygonal, and terminals tend to end in blunt wedges or clipped corners, giving the forms a carved, poster-like solidity. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph in a deliberately inconsistent way, reinforcing the handmade texture while keeping letters generally upright and legible.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset: posters, album art, playful branding, packaging, stickers, and event promotion. It can work for short paragraphs in larger sizes when set with extra spacing, but its strongest performance is in titles, pull quotes, and impactful labels.
The overall tone is quirky and mischievous, with a rustic, DIY energy that reads as playful rather than refined. Its jagged silhouettes and chunky presence evoke hand-painted signage, cut-paper lettering, or stylized “spooky” display type without leaning into ornate decoration.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-crafted voice—prioritizing character, motion, and a cut-from-material silhouette over geometric precision. It aims to feel informal and attention-grabbing, like lettering made quickly by hand while still maintaining recognizable, readable shapes.
In text, the uneven contours and tight internal space can build visual density, so it reads best with generous tracking and line spacing. The digit set matches the same carved, angular logic, helping numerals feel integrated in headlines and short callouts.
