A chunky, angular display face built from irregular, cut-paper-like shapes. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, with sharp corners, slightly warped stems, and inconsistent joins that create a restless texture. Counters tend to be tight and often squared-off, and many glyphs show deliberate misalignment or asymmetry. The overall rhythm is uneven, with noticeable shifts in width and internal spacing that emphasize the handmade, collage-like construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, game or indie app headers, album art, stickers, packaging callouts, and comic/illustration lettering. It can also work for brand marks or wordmarks where a rough-edged, handmade tone is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text.
The font projects a mischievous, DIY energy—more punk zine and game UI than polished editorial typography. Its odd angles and wobbling silhouettes feel humorous and unpredictable, giving text an intentionally “wacky” voice that reads as experimental and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut lettering with deliberate distortions and non-uniform geometry, delivering a distinctive, decorative texture. Its exaggerated angles and inconsistent construction prioritize character and novelty, aiming to make even simple words look energetic and unconventional.
Uppercase forms are especially geometric and fractured, while lowercase maintains the same cutout logic with simplified, compact shapes. Numerals are similarly blocky and stylized, prioritizing personality over uniformity. The black-on-white massing is strong at display sizes, but the irregular spacing and tight counters can make longer passages feel busy.
