A chunky, angular display face with irregular, hand-cut geometry and slightly inconsistent character widths. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, with abrupt corners, beveled-looking terminals, and subtly wavy verticals that give the letters a restless silhouette. Counters tend toward squarish or notched shapes (notably in O/Q and numerals), and many joins feel snapped or cut with small wedges rather than smoothly drawn curves. The overall rhythm is intentionally uneven, creating a lively texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short display settings where personality is the goal: posters, punchy headlines, playful packaging, event flyers, and comic or game UI titling. It holds up well at larger sizes where the irregular cuts and angular details can be appreciated, but its busy silhouettes may feel noisy in long text.
The font reads as mischievous and DIY, like cut-paper lettering or a rough sign stencil made by hand. Its controlled awkwardness and quirky angles give it a humorous, slightly chaotic tone that feels more comic than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful voice through deliberate irregularity—combining heavy, block-like forms with hand-made quirks to create an energetic, humorous display texture.
Capitals are tall and narrow with assertive vertical emphasis, while lowercase maintains a similarly blocky construction with idiosyncratic details (e.g., a single-storey a, a compact e, and a sharply formed t). Numerals are bold and chunky with squared counters and occasional asymmetry, matching the overall cutout aesthetic.
