A chunky, all-caps-forward display face built from squat, block-like forms with irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes stay consistently heavy but the edges wobble and flatten unpredictably, giving counters a carved-out look and creating an intentionally inconsistent rhythm across the alphabet. Corners tend to be blunt and slightly beveled, curves are simplified into faceted arcs, and many glyphs show asymmetrical shoulders and notches that make the silhouettes feel hand-shaped rather than geometric.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where the irregular silhouettes can act as a visual hook—posters, event titles, playful packaging, comic-style captions, and bold in-app/game UI labels. It can also work for logos and badges when a rough-hewn, humorous personality is desired, but is less appropriate for long reading passages.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, like cut-paper lettering or a rough stencil made for attention rather than refinement. Its exaggerated weight and quirky edge behavior read as humorous, slightly chaotic, and energetic—good for messages that want to feel loud and informal.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or roughly carved lettering with a deliberately imperfect finish, prioritizing personality and texture over smooth precision. Its wide, compact blocks and quirky details suggest a display-first font meant to feel bold, fun, and slightly unruly.
Uppercase forms feel especially compact and poster-like, while lowercase retains the same chunky construction with simple, open counters and a playful uneven baseline/edge impression. Numerals match the blocky language, staying legible while maintaining the same jagged, handmade texture.
