A chunky, all-caps-forward sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry and faceted corners. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, but outlines wobble subtly and terminals often end in angled, chiseled cuts rather than clean horizontals or verticals. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and several letters show slightly top-heavy or off-center internal shapes, creating an intentionally rough rhythm. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, cut-paper silhouette rather than a strictly modular construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, album art, packaging callouts, and sticker-style graphics. It can also work for playful children’s materials or casual event promos where a handmade, punchy voice is desirable; for longer passages, generous size and spacing will help maintain clarity.
The font projects a mischievous, informal tone—more handmade than mechanical. Its jagged edges and uneven internal spaces give it a comic, zine-like energy that feels bold, loud, and slightly chaotic, suitable for playful or spooky-campy messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut lettering—bold shapes with intentionally uneven edges—delivering a distinctive, crafted display voice. It prioritizes character and immediacy over typographic refinement, aiming for an approachable, attention-grabbing look.
Uppercase forms read like rugged display blocks, while the lowercase keeps the same chunky texture with simplified, sometimes squat shapes. Numerals match the faceted, cutout treatment, staying bold and legible at display sizes but becoming visually busy when set tightly or small.
