A jagged, angular display face built from chunky, cut-paper-like strokes and sharply faceted corners. The outlines wobble subtly and many terminals end in wedge-shaped points, creating a restless rhythm and an intentionally uneven color across words. Counters tend to be small and squarish, with frequent notch-like incisions and asymmetrical joints that make each glyph feel hand-formed rather than mechanically drawn. Overall spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, emphasizing a collage-like, improvised construction.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and cover/album art where its irregular, cutout texture can carry the composition. It can also add character to packaging or short brand phrases, especially when paired with a calmer text companion for longer copy.
The font reads as mischievous and offbeat, with a playful “found shapes” energy that feels closer to hand-cut signage than to polished typography. Its spiky silhouettes and irregular cadence add a comic, slightly chaotic tone that can skew spooky or punk depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or improvised lettering—favoring personality, texture, and a sharp geometric silhouette over smooth consistency. Its exaggerated angles and variable glyph widths suggest a deliberate effort to create a lively, unconventional voice for expressive display settings.
In running text the strong silhouette dominates, and the angular details can clump at smaller sizes; it performs best when given generous size and breathing room. Distinctive forms in letters like E, G, R, S, and the numerals reinforce the experimental, one-off character and keep words visually animated.
