A heavy, angular display face with a cut-paper silhouette and visibly irregular contours. Strokes are thick but broken into faceted planes with notched corners, creating sharp transitions and occasional small internal nicks. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with inconsistent widths and slightly uneven vertical alignment that reads as intentionally handmade rather than geometric. Counters tend to be compact and polygonal, and terminals often finish in abrupt, knife-like cuts.
Best suited for display settings where personality matters more than neutrality—posters, headlines, packaging, book covers, and event flyers. It works particularly well when you want a handcrafted, off-kilter feel in short bursts of text, such as titles, pull quotes, or signage-style treatments.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, like handmade lettering assembled from rough clippings. Its jagged edges and uneven rhythm give it a slightly eerie, comic-horror energy while staying playful and approachable. The texture suggests DIY craft, zine culture, and theatrical signage rather than polished branding.
The design appears aimed at delivering a deliberately irregular, handmade look with bold presence and distinctive silhouette. Its faceted cuts and uneven rhythm suggest an intention to emulate cutout lettering or rough-carved shapes, prioritizing expressive texture and character over typographic restraint.
The lowercase shows simplified, blocky construction with short ascenders/descenders and a chunky, irregular rhythm; the numerals follow the same faceted logic and remain clearly distinguishable. The strong silhouette carries well at larger sizes, while the interior notches and sharp corners add character that can become busy when set too small or too tightly spaced.
