A chunky, angular display face with intentionally uneven geometry and a hand-cut, collage-like construction. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, with abrupt corners, skewed terminals, and slightly inconsistent stem widths that create a jittery rhythm. Counters tend to be squarish and compact, and many glyphs lean on straight segments with occasional notches and kinks. Spacing and letterfit feel irregular by design, producing a lively, bouncy texture in lines of text.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, flyers, editorial headings, game or event titles, and expressive packaging. It can also work for short bursts of text—captions, pull quotes, or UI labels—when a deliberately irregular, playful voice is desired, but it is not geared toward long-form reading.
The overall tone is wacky and irreverent, evoking DIY cut-paper lettering, zines, and playful horror or cartoon title cards. Its off-kilter shapes read as energetic and mischievous rather than refined, adding personality and motion even in short words.
This font appears designed to deliver an intentionally imperfect, hand-made look with bold silhouettes and irregular rhythm, prioritizing character and attitude over typographic neutrality. The consistent use of blocky, angular forms suggests an aim to create a distinctive decorative voice that stands out quickly in headlines.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the distinctive silhouettes and squarish counters can be appreciated; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and jagged details may start to clog. The numerals and capitals match the same choppy, handcrafted logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for attention-grabbing headlines and labeling.
