A chunky, angular display face with uneven outlines and subtly inconsistent geometry that feels hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are heavy and monolinear, with squared terminals and frequent notches, nicks, and chamfered corners that create a faceted, chiseled silhouette. Counters tend to be squarish and compact, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a bouncy rhythm across words and lines. The overall construction stays mostly upright, but the irregular edges and shifting proportions keep the texture lively and intentionally rough.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing typography such as posters, splash screens, cover art, packaging, and event promotions. It can also work for playful UI elements (e.g., game menus, badges, and labels) where character and distinctiveness matter more than extended-reading comfort.
The font reads as mischievous and energetic, with a lo-fi, DIY tone reminiscent of cut-paper lettering or comic title cards. Its quirky angularity gives it a slightly mischievous, game-like personality while staying bold and friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful display voice with deliberate irregularity—capturing the look of improvised, cut or carved letterforms while maintaining enough consistency to set readable headings.
The set mixes strong straight segments with occasional kinked joins, which amplifies a wobble effect in text. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, helping headings and short strings feel cohesive when letters and numbers are mixed.
