A chunky, all-caps-forward display face with heavily distorted, irregular outlines and a hand-cut silhouette. Forms are built from broad strokes and slabby masses, with sharp notches, uneven corners, and occasional cut-in “chips” that make counters and joins feel carved rather than drawn. The rhythm is intentionally unstable: widths, stems, and internal spaces fluctuate from glyph to glyph, creating a wobbling texture in words while still keeping generally upright construction and clear letter boundaries.
Best used as a display font for posters, headlines, and short phrases where its rough, animated texture can carry the design. It can work well for playful packaging, stickers, album/mixtape-style graphics, party or event flyers, and youth-oriented branding that benefits from an intentionally messy, high-impact look.
The overall tone is mischievous and unruly, leaning into a DIY, cut-paper/cartoon energy. Its exaggerated, lopsided geometry reads as humorous and slightly anarchic, suited to attention-grabbing, lighthearted messaging rather than refinement or restraint.
This design appears intended to inject personality through controlled irregularity—prioritizing bold silhouette and comedic, hand-made quirks over typographic neutrality. The goal is a distinctive, one-off voice that feels cut, chiseled, and improvised while remaining readable in short bursts.
Counters are often small and irregular, and some letters rely on distinctive nicks or wedges to suggest apertures and joints. In text, the dense black shapes create a strong silhouette, but the jagged detailing can visually thicken at smaller sizes, making spacing and line breaks a key part of achieving clarity.
