This typeface uses chunky, angular letterforms with sharp wedge-like terminals and uneven, hand-cut contours. Strokes feel carved rather than drawn, with abrupt direction changes, asymmetric bowls, and frequent internal notches that create a faceted silhouette. Curves are present but generally tightened into pointed arcs, giving characters a restless, fractured rhythm. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, reinforcing an irregular texture in words and lines of text.
Ideal for display applications where personality is the message: event posters, Halloween promotions, game or comic-style titles, album/EP artwork, stickers, and packaging needing an eccentric edge. It works well for short bursts of text—headlines, pull quotes, and signage—where its jagged rhythm can be appreciated without fatigue.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly menacing, reading as cartoon-horror rather than formal gothic. Its jagged edges and off-kilter shapes create an energetic, unruly voice that feels theatrical and attention-seeking. The font projects a handcrafted, eccentric personality suited to playful shock or spooky humor.
The design appears intended to mimic a rough, hand-crafted cut-paper or carved look, prioritizing expressive silhouettes and irregular rhythm over typographic neutrality. It aims to deliver immediate impact and a distinctive, wacky voice for themed or entertainment-oriented graphics.
In running text, the strong silhouettes remain recognizable, but the highly varied shapes and narrow counters can make longer passages feel busy; it performs best when allowed generous size and simple backgrounds. Numerals and lowercase echo the same cutout logic, keeping a consistent, intentionally imperfect character set.
