A chunky, irregular display face with heavy strokes and noticeably jagged, chipped-looking edges. The letterforms lean on blocky, angular construction with small interior counters and uneven terminals that create a cut-out silhouette. Curves are faceted rather than smooth, and joins feel hand-shaped, producing a lively, slightly unstable rhythm across words. Spacing appears moderately tight in running text, with the rough outlines doing much of the visual work at larger sizes.
Best suited for attention-grabbing display settings such as posters, title treatments, packaging, and event graphics where texture and character are desired. It can also work for playful or spooky themes in game UI, chapter openers, or short pull quotes, but the rough outlines may feel busy at small sizes.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a hint of eerie, vintage poster energy. Its rugged texture reads as handmade and slightly chaotic, making it feel more like a prop or headline style than a neutral text face.
The design appears intended to mimic a rough-cut or chipped material aesthetic—somewhere between hand-carved lettering and distressed print—prioritizing personality and atmosphere over precision and smoothness.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent “carved” edge treatment, helping the font hold together despite per-glyph irregularities. Numerals match the same chunky, distressed contour style, supporting cohesive titling across alphanumerics.
