A faceted, angular display face with irregular, hand-cut-looking strokes and frequent sharp terminals. Curves are simplified into polygonal segments, giving bowls and rounds a slightly octagonal feel, while straight strokes vary subtly in thickness and edge alignment. Proportions are inconsistent by design, with variable character widths and a lively, slightly unstable baseline rhythm that reads as intentionally rough rather than geometric.
This font is best suited to short display settings—posters, punchy headlines, packaging accents, and expressive titling where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work for themed materials (games, parties, zines, and quirky branding) when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, suggesting DIY energy and a lightly chaotic sense of fun. Its jagged contours and uneven rhythm create a bold, attention-grabbing voice that feels more like a crafted prop or marker-made headline than a conventional text font.
The design appears intended to mimic a cut-paper or chiseled-marker construction, prioritizing character and visual texture over uniformity. By breaking curves into facets and keeping stroke edges imperfect, it aims to deliver an energetic, one-off look that stands apart from cleaner display styles.
Counters tend to be tight and shapes can close up in smaller details, so the face reads best when given room. The texture becomes more pronounced in longer lines, where the irregular edges create a strong, gritty pattern.
