A heavy, compact display face built from irregular, torn-looking silhouettes. Strokes appear brushy and knife-cut at the edges, with wobbly verticals and uneven terminals that create a lively, handmade rhythm. Counters are frequently reduced or collapsed, so letters read as solid masses with only occasional small openings; this produces strong texture but lowers internal clarity in some shapes. Overall proportions are broad with inconsistent widths from glyph to glyph, giving lines a stamped, improvised feel.
Best suited to short, punchy text where texture and attitude are the priority: posters, album/cover art, event flyers, game titles, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for branding marks or badges when used large, and pairs well with simpler text faces for supporting copy.
The font conveys a gritty, mischievous energy—part DIY zine, part Halloween cutout—mixing humor with a slightly menacing edge. Its rough contours and ink-blot fills suggest low-fi craft, street poster aesthetics, and intentionally imperfect printing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through solid, inked-in forms and distressed contours, evoking cut-paper or blotted brush lettering. Its irregular construction prioritizes character and atmosphere over precision, aiming for expressive display typography with a handcrafted edge.
The alphabet shows high silhouette variety and uneven edge detail that remains consistent across letters and numerals, helping it feel cohesive despite the irregularity. Because many counters are filled, differentiation relies on outer shape, so larger sizes and generous spacing will improve readability.
