A heavy, block-constructed sans with angular, chiseled corners and intentionally irregular geometry. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin shifts created by wedge-like terminals and uneven interior counters, giving each letter a carved, faceted look. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with compressed and expanded shapes mixing across the alphabet, and spacing that reads as deliberately lumpy for a kinetic texture. The overall silhouette stays upright but feels slightly off-kilter due to slanted cuts, asymmetric joints, and rough-cut diagonals.
This style excels in short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, packaging callouts, and title cards where personality matters more than smooth reading flow. It also suits playful or spooky themes in game interfaces, streaming overlays, or album/track artwork. In longer text, it works best as a sparing accent rather than a continuous reading face.
The font communicates a playful, mischievous energy—more DIY and cut-paper than polished corporate. Its bold, jagged forms feel loud and attention-seeking, with a comic, spooky-fun edge that can read as whimsical or slightly chaotic depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, expressive display voice with a hand-cut, carved aesthetic. By combining variable letter widths with faceted stroke shaping and angular counters, it prioritizes character and motion over strict regularity and typographic calm.
Counters are often tight and angular, and many joins are sharp, which increases texture and visual noise in paragraphs. The strong black mass and uneven rhythm make it best when the design can embrace its roughness rather than fight for typographic neutrality.
