A chunky, faceted display face built from irregular polygonal strokes and blunt, chopped terminals. The letterforms lean on hard angles and uneven joins, with frequent notches and cut-ins that create a hand-cut, collage-like silhouette. Counters are small and often angular (notably in O/Q/8/9), and curves are largely replaced by segmented facets. Spacing and sidebearings feel intentionally inconsistent, producing a bouncy rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact display text such as posters, headlines, playful branding marks, packaging callouts, or event promotions where a quirky, hand-made edge is desirable. It works well when set large with generous leading, allowing the irregular contours and notches to read clearly.
The overall tone is mischievous and deliberately unrefined, reading like cut-paper lettering or a comic prop title. Its jagged geometry and uneven cadence give it a loud, humorous energy that feels rebellious rather than polished.
The design appears intended to break from conventional typographic regularity, using angular, cutout-like construction and uneven rhythm to create character and motion. Its forms prioritize expressive silhouette and attitude over neutrality, aiming for immediate visual personality.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough, angular construction, helping the font maintain a unified voice in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the letterforms’ faceted style, with especially bold, graphic shapes that hold up at larger sizes.
