A heavy, jagged display face built from faceted, polygonal strokes that feel hand-cut rather than drawn. Terminals and corners are sharply notched, with irregular angles and slightly shifting stroke directions that create a lively, unstable rhythm. Counters are small and often angular, and the baseline and cap alignment feel purposefully bouncy, producing uneven silhouettes across words. Overall spacing reads compact and punchy, with chunky forms that hold together best at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and playful branding marks where texture and personality matter more than smooth readability. It can also work for packaging callouts or signage when set large, with ample tracking and generous line spacing to keep the jagged shapes from clumping.
The tone is quirky and unruly—more prankster headline than refined typography. Its choppy geometry and intentionally inconsistent details give it a homemade, energetic character that suggests comics, spooky-fun ephemera, and offbeat DIY graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum character through deliberately irregular, angular construction—evoking a hand-cut, craft-like aesthetic that feels spontaneous and expressive. It prioritizes graphic impact and a distinctive voice over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same cut-paper logic, with many letters showing distinctive wedge-like joins and skewed stems. Numerals match the letterforms with the same faceted construction, keeping a cohesive, graphic texture in mixed-type settings.
