A compact, chunky display face with a hand-cut, slightly wobbly silhouette. Strokes are heavily weighted and often flare or pinch, creating irregular rhythm and noticeable ink-trap-like notches at some joins. Counters are small and frequently collapse into thin slits or teardrop openings, especially in letters like B, P, and e, producing a solid, cutout look. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional hooked or tapered ends, and the overall spacing feels tight and compressed, reinforcing its dense texture in text.
Best suited to short display settings where bold silhouette matters more than internal detail: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and playful branding. It can work in larger sizes for punchy slogans or novelty captions, while long passages and small sizes may lose clarity due to the compressed counters.
The font projects a playful, mischievous tone with a DIY, cut-paper energy. Its uneven edges and squeezed proportions feel informal and characterful, leaning toward retro cartoon title lettering rather than conventional typography.
The design appears intended to create a dense, attention-grabbing word shape with an intentionally irregular, handmade feel. By prioritizing silhouette and texture over open counters, it delivers a distinctive novelty voice for expressive display typography.
Capitals are tall and compact with simplified geometry, while lowercase forms keep single-storey constructions and exaggerated blobs in bowls and shoulders. Numerals are heavy and friendly, with rounded massing and minimal interior detail, matching the alphabet’s solid texture.
