A heavy, compressed display face built from chunky, low-contrast strokes with subtly uneven edges and frequent angular nicks. The letterforms lean on tall verticals and tight counters, with a hand-cut, slightly wobbly outline quality that keeps the rhythm intentionally irregular. Curves are simplified into bulbous, pinched shapes, while joins and terminals often end in blunt cuts rather than smooth finishes, producing a stamped or cutout silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like posters, title treatments, event flyers, and expressive packaging where its bold silhouette can carry the message. It works well when you want typographic personality more than neutrality, and should be given generous size and spacing so the tight counters and notches stay clear.
The overall tone is humorous and offbeat, with a showy, attention-grabbing presence that feels intentionally unrefined. Its irregularity reads as mischievous and energetic, lending a playful, slightly chaotic character to headlines.
The design appears intended to provide a one-off, characterful display voice: compact, loud, and deliberately irregular, like lettering cut from paper or shaped with a rough stencil. Its distinctive notches and wobble prioritize attitude and memorability over smooth uniformity.
Capitals dominate visually with tall proportions and compact interior spaces, and the numerals follow the same chunky, carved-in profile. The texture becomes more evident in longer lines, where the uneven contours create a lively, jittery pattern across word shapes.
