A compact, heavy display face built from chunky silhouettes with softly rounded outer curves and frequent angular nicks and wedge-like cut-ins along the edges. Counters are largely collapsed, so most letters read as solid shapes with only small notches implying traditional openings. The stroke structure feels carved rather than drawn: corners are often chamfered, joins are blunt, and curves are slightly lumpy, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Spacing appears tight in text, producing dense word shapes and strong texture at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, cover titles, logo wordmarks, packaging fronts, stickers, and playful branding. It can also work for large callouts or section headers where a dense, solid texture is desired; for extended reading, the collapsed counters and tight rhythm will feel heavy.
The overall tone is mischievous and informal, with a cartoonish, cut-paper quality that feels handmade and slightly rowdy. Its solid, filled-in forms give it a bold poster presence, while the irregular edge details add character and a playful sense of motion.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum visual mass in a compact footprint, using collapsed interiors and carved edge notches to keep letterforms distinctive even when set tightly. The irregular, hand-cut detailing suggests an intention to feel crafted and characterful rather than mechanically precise.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent silhouette logic, with the lowercase maintaining a high, sturdy profile that keeps color even in longer lines. Numerals match the same cut-and-chunk aesthetic, reading more as emblematic shapes than conventional text figures.
