A jagged, angular display face built from straight, faceted strokes that feel hand-cut rather than drawn. Corners are sharp and often slightly misaligned, with uneven joins and occasional notches that create a choppy rhythm across words. Counters tend toward polygonal shapes (notably in O/Q and numerals), and terminals frequently end in abrupt wedges, reinforcing a cut-paper silhouette. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing an intentionally irregular texture that stays bold and legible at display sizes.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, splash screens, headlines, packaging accents, and entertainment branding where an intentionally irregular, handcrafted look is desirable. It can also work for logos or titles that benefit from a quirky, edgy tone, but the busy texture may be less comfortable for long passages at small sizes.
The font reads as mischievous and offbeat, with a slightly chaotic energy that suggests DIY signage, cartoon title cards, or deliberately “wrong” lettering used for humor. Its spiky geometry adds a hint of tension, making it suitable for playful-but-edgy moods rather than friendly softness.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-made, cut-and-assembled lettering through faceted geometry and deliberate inconsistency, delivering a distinctive one-off personality that stands out quickly in display contexts.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same faceted construction, keeping a consistent visual voice while allowing the lowercase to remain simple and sturdy. Numerals are similarly angular and chunky, matching the letterforms’ cut-out aesthetic and maintaining clear differentiation (e.g., 0 vs 8/9).
