A heavy, angular display face with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline, with sharp corners, wedged terminals, and subtle wobble in verticals and horizontals that creates a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and often squared off, with occasional cut-in notches and skewed joins that make letters feel carved from paper or painted with a rough brush. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the offbeat, handmade look.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging callouts, and playful branding moments. It can also work for comic-style titling, album/mixtape covers, and editorial features where a raw, handcrafted attitude is desired; it is less appropriate for long-form reading or small sizes where its tight counters and jagged details may reduce clarity.
The font feels mischievous and energetic, with a comedic, slightly chaotic tone. Its jagged geometry and inconsistent rhythm give it a DIY, zine-like personality that reads as intentionally “wrong” in a fun way—more shouty and expressive than refined or neutral.
The design appears aimed at creating a bold, attention-grabbing display voice that mimics hand-cut or improvised lettering. By embracing uneven widths, sharp angles, and rough edges, it prioritizes character and humor over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms present as tall and assertive, while lowercase shapes keep the same rugged construction, leading to a unified but deliberately imperfect texture in text. Numerals follow the same blocky, cutout logic, maintaining strong visual consistency for loud display settings.
