A chunky, angular display face with irregular, faceted contours that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear in impression, with sharp corners, chiseled terminals, and occasional inward notches that create a cut-paper silhouette. Counters are small and uneven, and round letters (O, Q, C) become polygonal forms, while verticals remain stout and blocky. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, producing a lively, uneven rhythm across words.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, event promos, playful packaging, and comic-style titling. It also works well for themed graphics where a handmade, jagged look is desirable; it is less appropriate for small sizes or extended reading due to its tight counters and irregular rhythm.
The overall tone is mischievous and comedic, with a deliberately rough, improvised energy. Its jagged geometry and bouncy spacing suggest a playful, slightly chaotic voice suited to humorous or offbeat messaging rather than formal typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, one-off display voice that looks cut, chipped, or carved, prioritizing character and impact over typographic neutrality. Its variable widths and intentionally uneven edges aim to create motion and humor in setting, especially at larger sizes.
The uppercase set reads especially bold and poster-like, while the lowercase keeps the same cutout character with simplified forms and sturdy stems. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, maintaining the font’s irregular, handmade feel in mixed alphanumeric settings.
