A chunky, all-caps-forward display face with irregular, chiseled geometry and a hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, but edges wobble and corners break into angled facets, creating a carved-from-paper feel. Counters are small and often squared-off, with compact apertures and an overall dense texture. Widths and sidebearings vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing an intentionally uneven rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging callouts, and logo/wordmark concepts where texture and attitude are desired. It works well in playful or rebellious branding, titles, and on-screen graphics where the uneven rhythm becomes a feature rather than a distraction.
The tone is loud and mischievous, with a cartoony roughness that reads as homemade, punky, and slightly chaotic. Its jagged facets and bouncy spacing give it an energetic, irreverent personality that feels more like a prop-lettered sign than a formal type system.
The design appears intended to mimic bold, hand-shaped lettering with a quirky, faceted cut—prioritizing character and immediacy over typographic regularity. Its construction suggests an aim for strong silhouette recognition and a lively, offbeat texture in big sizes.
The irregular terminals and shifting proportions add character but also make long passages visually busy, especially at smaller sizes. Numerals and lowercase follow the same cutout logic, keeping the set cohesive while preserving the deliberately off-kilter cadence.
