A whimsical, segmented display face with frequent breaks in strokes that create a stencil-like, cutout effect. Letterforms mix rounded bowls with sharp, wedge-like terminals and notches, producing a lively, irregular rhythm across a line of text. Curves are often interrupted by small gaps, while straights taper into pointed ends, giving many glyphs a carved or papercut silhouette. Spacing and proportions feel intentionally uneven, and the overall texture reads as animated and decorative rather than typographically strict.
Best used for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headline treatments, book or zine covers, packaging accents, and event promotions. It works especially well when set large, where the stencil breaks and cutout details can be appreciated as a deliberate pattern.
The font conveys a playful, crafty energy—like hand-cut shapes, masks, or props—balancing whimsy with a slightly mischievous edge. Its broken strokes and quirky details make it feel experimental and characterful, suited to designs that want to look custom and offbeat.
Likely designed to function as a distinctive display alphabet that transforms standard letter skeletons into a playful, broken-stroke system. The consistent use of gaps and notched terminals suggests an intention to evoke handmade stencil or cut-paper construction while remaining recognizable in text.
The segmented construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with many counters partially opened and terminals sharply clipped. At smaller sizes the gaps and notches can become visually busy, while at larger sizes they read as a defining graphic motif.
