A heavy, blocky display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and a deliberately uneven rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear but the outlines wobble and facet, creating angular bites, blunt terminals, and occasional rounded bulges. Counters tend to be small and asymmetric, with compact apertures and a lumpy, carved-in feel that makes each glyph look individually shaped rather than mechanically repeated. The lowercase is robust with a tall x-height and short extenders, while numerals follow the same chunky, cutout construction.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, bold headlines, packaging callouts, game titles, and playful signage. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where an intentionally rough, handmade character is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading due to its dense counters and highly irregular outlines.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, like letters stamped from foam or roughly cut from paper. Its uneven silhouettes and tight counters create a loud, comedic voice that feels intentionally imperfect and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing display look with a purposely wacky, hand-shaped personality. By combining chunky proportions with uneven, faceted edges, it aims to feel spontaneous and comedic rather than refined or typographically neutral.
Spacing appears visually tight in text, and the rugged outlines create strong texture even at larger sizes. The face reads best when allowed room for its jagged edges and distinctive interior shapes to breathe.
