A heavy, all-caps-forward display face built from chunky, irregular polygons. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but vary through jagged cuts, producing sharp corners, flattened terminals, and frequent notches and bite-like counters. Letterforms sit unevenly with a wobbly baseline and inconsistent internal spacing, while counters tend to be small and angular, often appearing as slits or punched holes. Overall proportions are broad and blocky, with simplified construction and intentionally rough edges that read like cut paper or chiseled shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact display work such as posters, comic headings, game UI/title screens, party or event flyers, and novelty packaging. It works well when you want a deliberately messy, energetic voice, and it benefits from generous size and spacing to keep the angular counters from clogging.
The font projects a mischievous, off-kilter energy—more prankish than polished. Its jagged silhouettes and lurching rhythm suggest comic chaos, DIY craft, and a slightly aggressive cartoon attitude, making text feel loud, playful, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to emulate a purposely imperfect, hand-cut or crudely carved look while maintaining recognizable letterforms. Its consistent faceted construction and exaggerated irregularity prioritize personality and motion over smooth readability for body text.
In longer setting the irregular widths and varied letter spacing create a strong, bouncy texture that can overwhelm at small sizes. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same faceted logic as the uppercase, keeping the tone consistent across mixed-case headlines.
