A chunky, irregular sans with faceted contours and a hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are generally heavy with subtly uneven edges and occasional tapered terminals, creating a carved or paper-cut feel rather than a mechanically smooth outline. The geometry leans angular, with flattened curves and notched transitions that produce lively, imperfect counters (notably in rounded letters and numerals). Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, giving the line a slightly wandering rhythm while staying readable at display sizes.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and packaging where its textured, hand-made character can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers and themed promotions (especially playful or spooky concepts), but is less appropriate for long passages of small body text due to its irregular contours and lively spacing.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, with a handmade roughness that reads as crafty, rustic, and slightly eerie. Its uneven rhythm and chiseled shapes suggest humor and personality over neutrality, making it feel energetic and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful sans that mimics hand-cut or carved lettering while maintaining straightforward letter construction. Its variable widths and faceted edges prioritize personality and impact, aiming for a distinctive voice in titles and branding rather than a quiet, utilitarian reading texture.
Uppercase forms are broad and emphatic, while lowercase remains compact with a small, sturdy presence; the contrast between stout verticals and irregular curves adds visual bite. Numerals match the same faceted construction, with the 0 and 8 particularly cut-stone in character, reinforcing the decorative, poster-friendly impression.
