A chunky, heavy display face built from irregular, angular forms with a hand-cut, slightly wobbly rhythm. Strokes are broadly monolinear and often terminate in blunt, faceted corners, creating a carved-from-paper or chipped-wood silhouette. Many counters and apertures are reduced or collapsed, producing dense black shapes; where openings remain, they read as narrow notches rather than clean bowls. Spacing and sidebearings feel intentionally uneven, with each glyph occupying its own quirky footprint while maintaining a consistent overall heft.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, titles, splashy headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging callouts, and sticker-style graphics. It also works well for Halloween-themed or comic-leaning designs where a rugged, cutout texture is desirable; for long passages, the collapsed interiors and irregular spacing can become visually dense.
The tone is loud, mischievous, and intentionally rough-edged—more handmade than mechanical. Its jagged geometry and dense silhouettes evoke cutout lettering, retro-cartoon signage, and playful “spooky” or pulp energy without relying on delicate detail.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a deliberately imperfect, handmade look—prioritizing silhouette and attitude over refined readability. The collapsed openings and faceted corners suggest an intention to feel cut, carved, or stamped, producing a bold graphic texture in display settings.
The uppercase set reads as blunt and monumental, while the lowercase carries more idiosyncratic, lumpy silhouettes, emphasizing the informal character. Numerals follow the same faceted, blocky construction and maintain strong color, making the font effective at grabbing attention even at a distance.
