A chunky, angular display face with irregular, hand-cut geometry and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are built from faceted planes and sharp corners, with frequent notches and wedge-like terminals that make counters feel carved rather than drawn. The baseline and cap alignment appear intentionally unstable, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a restless texture in text. Bowls and inner shapes are often off-center and asymmetrical, reinforcing a cut-paper or rough stencil impression.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where character is more important than smooth readability—posters, event graphics, punchy headlines, logotypes, and expressive packaging. It can also work for titles in games, comics, or playful editorial spots where a rough, handmade voice is desired.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a comic, slightly chaotic energy. Its intentionally imperfect construction reads as playful and rebellious rather than refined, giving words a loud, attention-grabbing personality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a distinctive, one-off display voice through deliberate irregularity—combining heavy, simplified letterforms with chiseled angles to mimic a handmade cutout aesthetic and inject movement into the line.
In running text, the irregular widths and shifting angles create strong patterning and a “shouting” silhouette, while small openings and pinched joins can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same fractured, faceted logic, helping mixed settings feel consistent.
