A compact, heavy sans with an irregular, hand-cut silhouette and chiseled edges. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline, but outlines wobble subtly and corners break into angular facets, creating a cut-paper rhythm rather than a geometric one. Counters tend to be small and tight, apertures are often pinched, and terminals finish abruptly with slanted or notched ends. Overall spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven, giving lines of text a lively, jittery texture while remaining clearly upright and blocky.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and game or entertainment branding where a bold, handcrafted tone is desirable. It can work in larger text blocks when the goal is texture and personality, but the tight counters and jagged edges favor display sizes over small UI or long-form reading.
The font reads as mischievous and energetic, with a slightly spooky, comic edge. Its jagged contours and uneven rhythm evoke handmade signage and playful poster lettering, leaning more toward fun and character than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handmade display voice that feels cut, carved, or constructed from paper shapes. It prioritizes character and punchy silhouette over smooth polish, aiming for high impact and an expressive, slightly offbeat texture.
Letterforms show a consistent “carved” logic—angled shoulders, flattened curves, and occasional internal notches—helping the set feel cohesive despite its deliberate irregularities. Numerals share the same chunky, faceted construction, maintaining a strong graphic presence.
