A chunky, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with irregular, faceted contours that feel like they were cut from paper or carved from soft material. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, but the edges are consistently broken into angular bites and notches, creating a wobbly silhouette and uneven terminals. Counters are small and sometimes off-center, and the overall spacing and widths vary per glyph, giving the alphabet a lively, imperfect rhythm. Figures follow the same blocky, cutout construction, prioritizing impact over precision.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like posters, event flyers, seasonal promotions, packaging callouts, and bold headlines where the jagged silhouette can read clearly. It works well when you want an intentionally wonky, handmade tone and can give simple phrases a strong character. For longer text, it will be more effective in larger sizes and with generous line spacing.
The font reads as mischievous and theatrical, with a slightly eerie, Halloween-adjacent edge thanks to its torn, jagged outlines. It also carries a lighthearted, cartoon-sign feel, making it more goofy than threatening. Overall, it signals handmade energy and deliberate imperfection.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate personality through a rough-hewn, irregular outline while keeping the letterforms simple and weighty for strong visibility. Its consistent chiseled edges suggest a deliberate “cutout” aesthetic aimed at playful, themed display use rather than neutral reading.
The texture comes from the outline itself rather than added grain, so it stays crisp while still looking rough. The irregularity is consistent across the set, helping the face feel cohesive even as individual letterforms vary in width and shape.
