This typeface uses chunky, angular forms with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes stay consistently heavy with minimal modulation, while corners and terminals are often beveled, notched, or slightly misaligned, creating a chiseled, cut-paper feel. Proportions are compact and tall, with tight apertures and uneven internal counters (notably in rounded letters and numerals). The rhythm across words is lively and bouncy due to subtle variations in glyph width, slant-like tilts, and off-kilter joins that keep the texture from feeling mechanical.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, event titles, album art, packaging callouts, and bold brand marks where its irregular texture can be a feature. It works well in short bursts—headlines, signage, and playful labels—especially when you want a handmade, cutout look that stands apart from cleaner geometric sans styles.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a DIY, cutout aesthetic that feels playful rather than formal. Its jagged edges and quirky construction add a slightly spooky or punk-leaning character, making the voice feel bold, expressive, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut lettering—faceted, slightly uneven, and deliberately non-uniform—while remaining readable in all-caps and mixed-case display text. It prioritizes character and visual punch over smoothness or typographic neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular construction, giving mixed-case setting a cohesive, poster-like color. Round letters are rendered as faceted polygons rather than smooth curves, and several glyphs feature distinctive nicks and wedges that read well at larger sizes but can create dense, dark word shapes in small text.
