A heavy, block-built display face with sharply faceted corners and irregular, chipped-looking terminals. Forms are mostly geometric but intentionally uneven, with frequent wedge cuts, small notches, and skewed joins that create a handmade, stamped silhouette. Counters tend toward narrow openings, and the overall rhythm feels jagged rather than smooth, with occasional glyph-to-glyph quirks that add visual noise. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky, angular construction, while the lowercase stays compact and sturdy with simplified, upright shapes.
Best suited to posters, splashy headlines, covers, and short bursts of copy where its jagged texture can read as a deliberate stylistic choice. It can also work for playful branding, packaging callouts, event promos, or game/UI titles where a loud, quirky voice is desired.
The tone is loud and playful with a slightly unruly, cut-paper energy. Its jagged edges and skewed details suggest humor and mischief more than precision, giving text a bold, attention-grabbing punch with a retro novelty flavor.
Likely designed as an attention-first display font that trades typographic neutrality for character. The faceted cuts and irregular terminals appear intended to evoke a handmade, carved or hacked-together look, giving simple words an instant sense of motion and attitude.
Stroke endings often resolve into small bevels and triangular bites, creating a consistent ‘carved’ texture across the set. Spacing appears intentionally uneven in feel, reinforcing the wacky, one-off character while remaining readable at display sizes.
