A chunky, heavy display face built from block-like forms with deliberately irregular contours. Strokes are thick and fairly even, but edges are cut into sharp wedges and faceted angles, creating a “carved” look with frequent kinks and asymmetrical terminals. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, and curves (as in O, C, S) are rendered as flattened, polygonal arcs rather than smooth rounds. Overall spacing and silhouette feel intentionally uneven from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a lively, jostled rhythm.
Best used at display sizes where the faceted edges and uneven rhythm can be appreciated—posters, splashy headlines, event flyers, packaging callouts, and expressive title treatments. It works well when you want impact with humor, especially in short phrases, logos, or punchy labels rather than long passages.
The tone is loud and mischievous, with a slapstick, DIY energy that reads as intentionally imperfect. Its jagged cuts and wobbling silhouettes evoke comic signage, playful chaos, and a slightly rebellious, party-poster attitude.
The design appears aimed at maximum personality and visual punch through exaggerated weight and intentionally irregular, carved-looking geometry. It prioritizes expressive silhouettes and a comic, hand-cut feel over typographic neutrality, making it suited to attention-grabbing, character-driven branding or editorial moments.
The cut-in notches and angular terminals are a consistent motif across both uppercase and lowercase, helping the design stay cohesive despite its irregularity. Numerals match the same chunky, faceted construction and feel best suited to short bursts rather than dense settings.
