A heavy, solid display face with irregular, chiseled contours and occasional bite-like notches that create a distressed silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with softened corners and uneven edges that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Counters are frequently collapsed or minimized, producing blob-like forms (notably in rounded characters) and giving the overall texture a dense, inky color. Proportions vary across glyphs, with a lively rhythm and slightly inconsistent widths that enhance the handmade, novelty character.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, splashy headlines, titles, and packaging where a distressed, quirky voice is desired. It can also support themed applications like spooky events, game/UI title screens, or album art where texture and personality matter more than long-form readability.
The font reads as mischievous and slightly ominous, balancing a playful cartoon energy with a rough, weathered edge. Its torn silhouettes and filled-in interiors suggest spooky, pulpy, or DIY aesthetics, making text feel loud, tactile, and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold novelty voice through intentionally imperfect outlines and reduced internal space, emphasizing silhouette over interior detail. By mixing chunky shapes with distressed cut-ins, it aims to feel handmade, theatrical, and immediately attention-grabbing in display typography.
Uppercase forms tend to be more blocky and poster-like, while lowercase becomes slimmer in places, creating a mixed-texture line that is expressive but not strictly uniform. Numerals share the same carved, irregular treatment, and the overall effect stays legible at display sizes while becoming visually noisy in smaller settings due to the closed apertures and rough detailing.
