A heavy, block-based display face with compact counters and a mostly monoline feel. Letterforms are built from chunky geometric masses—often rectangular with softened corners—then disrupted by irregular, carved-out slits and gouges that read like cut-paper tears or stencil breaks. The negative shapes are inconsistent by design, creating a jittery rhythm across straight stems and broad bowls; curves (O, C, G) stay full and rounded while joins and terminals frequently look sheared or notched. Overall spacing and silhouettes remain sturdy and legible at display sizes, with the distressed interior cuts providing the primary texture.
Works best in short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, product packaging, and merchandise where the irregular interior cuts can read clearly. It can also add personality to logos or event branding when used at larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The font projects a mischievous, off-kilter energy—more toy-box and poster than formal typography. Its rough internal cuts add a handmade, collage-like grit while the oversized, friendly proportions keep the tone approachable and humorous. The result feels attention-seeking and characterful, suited to playful or slightly chaotic messaging.
The design appears intended to combine a bold, easily readable display skeleton with deliberate irregular “damage” to create a one-off, playful texture. By keeping the outer shapes stable and concentrating distortion inside the forms, it delivers novelty and motion while remaining usable for prominent display text.
The internal notches vary from small pinholes to longer horizontal/diagonal slices, giving each glyph a unique “worn” signature without fully breaking the outer silhouette. Uppercase and lowercase share the same chunky construction, and the numerals follow the same cut-out motif for a cohesive, textured set.
