A chunky, black display face built from irregular wedge-like strokes and blunted corners. Letterforms are mostly upright but intentionally unstable, with uneven stroke endings, shifting widths, and occasional pinched counters that give a cut-paper or roughly carved feel. Curves are lumpy rather than geometric, and diagonals dominate many shapes, creating a jagged rhythm across words. Spacing feels lively and slightly inconsistent by design, producing a bouncy texture in text settings.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, stickers, and playful branding. It’s particularly suited to kid-focused or humor-forward contexts where character and loud presence matter more than typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is mischievous and comedic, leaning toward cartoon title lettering and playful, slightly chaotic energy. Its rough, handcrafted irregularity reads as informal and attention-seeking, suggesting humor, spontaneity, and a bit of mischief.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, one-off display voice with deliberate irregularity—evoking hand-cut signage or cartoon lettering while remaining cohesive across the alphabet. Its exaggerated, uneven geometry prioritizes personality and visual punch in titles and branding applications.
Capitals are assertive and blocky, while lowercase retains the same rugged construction, making mixed-case lines feel animated rather than orderly. Numerals match the angular, chunky build and hold up well as bold graphic elements. The silhouette-heavy shapes favor impact over fine detail, especially at larger sizes.
