A jagged, angular display face with a hand-cut, faceted construction. Strokes maintain mostly even thickness but break into sharp corners, notches, and wedge-like terminals, creating a deliberately uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are often polygonal rather than smooth, and many joins look carved or chipped, with irregular counters and asymmetrical details. Uppercase forms are bold and compact, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic silhouettes, giving mixed-case text a lively, slightly chaotic texture.
Best suited to short, attention-getting settings such as posters, headlines, packaging accents, and cover titling where its irregular shapes can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding, party and event promotions, and whimsical editorial callouts, especially when paired with a calmer companion for body copy.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a crafted, cut-paper or carved-wood energy. Its quirky shapes read as intentionally “off-kilter,” lending a humorous, animated feel that suits whimsical and oddball themes more than formal communication.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-made lettering with a carved or cut-out look, prioritizing personality and surprise over typographic neutrality. Its consistent angular vocabulary and deliberate irregularities suggest a decorative display face meant to inject humor and motion into titles and branding.
In longer text the strong angularity and frequent notches create a busy color, so it performs best when given generous size and spacing. Distinctive one-off details (like hooked terminals and faceted bowls) help individual letters stand out, reinforcing the font’s illustrative, characterful personality.
