A decorative display face with heavy, high-contrast letterforms built from bold exterior shapes and irregular hollowed cutouts. Strokes are intentionally uneven, with wobbly curves, slightly crooked stems, and wedge-like notches that create a carved, collage-like rhythm. Counters and interior voids vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, imperfect texture; rounding is generous in bowls, while terminals often end in blunt slabs or angled facets. Spacing and widths feel inconsistent by design, reinforcing the handmade, cut-paper/woodcut impression.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as posters, display headlines, festival or party flyers, packaging accents, and title cards where the cutout texture can be appreciated. It also works well for themed signage and playful branding that benefits from an intentionally imperfect, handcrafted look.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, reading as carnival signage, Halloween flair, or storybook mischief. Its jittery cutouts and chunky silhouettes add a slightly eerie, comedic edge without becoming aggressive or gothic.
This font appears designed to mimic hand-cut or carved lettering, using hollowed interiors and uneven contours to create a bold, characterful display voice. The intention is impact and personality over neutrality, emphasizing texture, movement, and novelty in large-format typography.
The hollowed details and sharp internal knockouts add strong sparkle at large sizes but can visually fill in at smaller sizes, especially where thin bridges and tight cutouts meet. Numerals match the same irregular, cutout construction, keeping a consistent display flavor across letters and figures.
