A heavy, block-built display face with irregular, hand-cut geometry and flattened curves. Strokes are rendered as solid masses with many counters collapsed, producing dense silhouettes and distinctive notches rather than open bowls. Edges are jagged and faceted, with inconsistent corner treatments and slight tilt or wobble from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven rhythm. Proportions are compact and squarish overall, while individual letters vary noticeably in width and interior carving.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, splash headlines, logos, and packaging where texture and attitude matter more than continuous readability. It also works well for themed event flyers and playful branding that benefits from a rough, handmade display voice.
The font reads as mischievous and loud, with a DIY, cut-paper energy. Its uneven rhythm and blunt shapes create a comic, off-kilter tone that feels intentionally rough and attention-seeking. The solid, counterless forms add a poster-like punch and a slightly cryptic, coded feel.
The design appears intended to prioritize silhouette and texture over conventional letterform clarity, using collapsed counters and faceted edges to create a bold, cutout aesthetic. The irregular widths and quirky notches suggest a deliberately imperfect, handcrafted look meant to stand out in display applications.
In the text sample, the dense shapes and collapsed interiors reduce letter differentiation, especially in longer words and at smaller sizes. Spacing appears visually uneven by design, contributing to a jittery texture; generous sizing and ample line spacing help keep the word shapes recognizable.
