A compact, jagged display face with hand-cut, uneven contours and chunky strokes. Letterforms feel carved rather than drawn, with angular joins, tapered terminals, and occasional notches that interrupt otherwise straight stems. Curves are simplified into faceted shapes, creating a lively, inconsistent rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are relatively small and tight, and the overall silhouette reads dark and punchy while retaining an intentionally rough, irregular edge.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and entertainment titling where texture and personality are desirable. It can work well for Halloween or spooky-themed graphics, indie music artwork, game UI titles, and zine-style layouts, but is less appropriate for long passages or small sizes due to its busy, irregular forms.
The font projects a mischievous, off-kilter energy—part handmade poster lettering, part cartoon-horror cutout. Its roughened shapes and eccentric details give it a slightly eerie, rebellious tone without becoming illegible, making it feel energetic and characterful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic a rough, hand-cut or carved lettering aesthetic with deliberate inconsistencies to create character. Its goal is to deliver strong display impact while communicating a playful, slightly ominous mood through sharp edges, uneven stroke behavior, and expressive silhouettes.
Capitals are especially spiky and stylized, while lowercase retains the same chiseled construction and narrow stance. Numerals follow the same irregular logic, with distinctive, hand-formed shapes that emphasize personality over uniformity. Spacing appears tight and the texture is busy, so it reads best when given room to breathe.
