A heavy, solid display face with blobby silhouettes and irregular, hand-cut-looking contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, with edges that wobble, nick, and flatten, creating a deliberately uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are largely collapsed or filled, so letter recognition relies on outer shapes and notches; curves read as soft masses while terminals often end in abrupt, torn-looking cuts. Spacing feels inconsistent by design, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, cutout construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging callouts, stickers, and playful branding where a rough cutout aesthetic is desirable. It performs particularly well when given generous size and breathing room, rather than in small text or extended paragraphs.
The overall tone is playful and unruly, mixing cartoon exuberance with a gritty, DIY roughness. It suggests loud, attention-grabbing messaging—more about character and attitude than refinement or neutrality.
Likely intended to emulate a bold cut-paper or stamped-ink look with imperfect edges and simplified interiors, prioritizing a strong silhouette and expressive texture over conventional readability.
The font’s solid construction makes it read as strong blocks of ink at larger sizes, but the reduced internal openings and ragged edges can make long strings feel dense. Numerals match the same chunky, irregular massing, keeping a consistent display-only personality.
