A heavy, blocky sans with deliberately irregular, cut-paper geometry. Strokes are chunky and mostly monolinear, with faceted corners, uneven edges, and slightly inconsistent stem widths that create a rough, handmade rhythm. Counters tend to be small and angular, apertures are tight, and many joins look chopped or notched rather than smoothly drawn. Overall spacing and glyph widths feel intentionally uneven, reinforcing a lively, off-kilter texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, album/mixtape artwork, and comic or game-related graphics where texture and attitude are desired. It works well when ample size and generous line spacing are available to keep the forms from crowding.
The font reads as mischievous and energetic, with a DIY, punk-flyer attitude. Its jagged silhouettes and wobbly rhythm give it a humorous, slightly chaotic tone that feels more expressive than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut lettering—bold, angular shapes with purposeful imperfections—to deliver an expressive, attention-grabbing voice rather than typographic neutrality.
In the sample text, the irregular outlines create strong visual character at display sizes, while dense interiors and tight apertures can make longer passages feel busy. The all-caps set especially emphasizes the cutout effect through sharp corners and abrupt stroke endings.
