A heavy, blocky display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and softly squared corners. Strokes are broadly consistent but edges wobble subtly, giving each glyph a slightly different silhouette and width. Counters are compact and sometimes off-center, with rectangular interior shapes that reinforce a cutout or stamped look. Spacing and sidebearings feel intentionally uneven, creating a lively rhythm in text while keeping forms upright and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, playful packaging, and promotional graphics where personality matters more than typographic polish. It can work in brief paragraphs for novelty applications, but the irregular widths and dense counters make it most effective in larger sizes and with ample line spacing.
The overall tone is mischievous and cartoonish, like handmade lettering carved from foam or printed with a worn rubber stamp. Its imperfect geometry and chunky mass convey humor and informality rather than precision or restraint.
Designed to deliver an intentionally odd, handmade display voice—prioritizing character, texture, and comedic impact through chunky shapes, uneven contours, and a cutout-like construction.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough, squarish construction, producing a cohesive but intentionally unrefined texture. Numerals follow the same cutout logic and hold up as bold graphic elements, with the set reading best when given generous size and simple backgrounds.
