A jagged, angular display face built from sharp, hand-cut-looking strokes and uneven polygonal counters. Letterforms lean on faceted diagonals, abrupt terminals, and inconsistent stroke joins, creating a deliberately unstable rhythm. Proportions are tight and compact, with frequent asymmetry between left and right sides and occasional cut-ins that make counters feel carved rather than drawn. The uppercase and lowercase share a cohesive rough geometry, while numerals and punctuation follow the same chiseled, irregular logic for a consistently eccentric texture in text.
Best suited to short, punchy settings where personality matters more than smooth readability: posters, headlines, album or mixtape artwork, game titles and UI callouts, themed event flyers, and packaging that wants an offbeat, hand-made edge. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when you want a disruptive accent.
The tone is playful but unruly—like a DIY zine headline or a theatrical “spooky fun” title card. Its broken, shard-like construction adds a nervous energy that reads as mischievous, noisy, and a little chaotic rather than refined or neutral.
The design appears intended to mimic cut-paper or carved-letter gestures in a digital font, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and energetic texture. It aims to deliver a one-off, characterful voice for expressive display typography rather than a polished, typographic-neutral system.
In continuous text, the strong black shapes and irregular internal spaces create a busy color, with distinctive silhouettes doing most of the legibility work. The most successful impact comes from larger sizes where the faceted cuts and quirky counter shapes remain clear and intentional.
