A chunky, angular sans with uneven, hand-cut contours and a slightly wobbly baseline rhythm. Strokes are consistently heavy with crisp, faceted corners and frequent diagonal shears, giving many glyphs a carved or cut-paper silhouette rather than a geometric construction. Counters tend to be small and sometimes polygonal, and internal joins show occasional notches and bite-like cut-ins that add texture. Proportions skew compact in width with a comparatively large x-height, while caps and numerals feel tall and assertive, producing dense, high-impact word shapes.
Best suited for short, bold messaging where personality is a priority: posters, punchy headlines, packaging, labels, stickers, and playful branding. It also works well for event graphics and comic-style titling where a rugged, hand-made texture can enhance the design.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, mixing a bold, poster-like presence with an intentionally rough, handmade edge. Its jagged facets and irregularities evoke DIY signage, comic display lettering, and playful “monster” or spooky novelty typography without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect, cut-out aesthetic—prioritizing character, rhythm, and texture over neutral regularity. Its tall lowercase and dense forms suggest it was drawn to hold up in display contexts while maintaining a lively, informal voice.
In text settings, the strong black mass and tight apertures can make spacing and counters feel crowded at small sizes, while the distinctive angles and notches read clearly when given room. Numerals and capitals carry especially strong character, with a consistent faceted logic across the set.
