A heavy, blocky sans with faceted outlines that feel cut from paper or carved from soft material. Strokes maintain a broadly even thickness, but edges and corners are intentionally irregular, producing a jittery rhythm and uneven geometry. Counters tend to be small and often polygonal, with rounded-meets-angled interior shapes (notably in O, Q, and e). Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey construction and a slightly looser, hand-drawn cadence; overall spacing and widths vary for a lively texture in words.
Best used in short display settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging callouts, and playful branding where a bold, quirky voice is desired. It can also work for children’s materials, comic-style captions, or themed graphics where texture and personality matter more than long-form readability.
The font conveys a mischievous, cartoonish energy—bold and attention-seeking, with a handmade roughness that reads as playful rather than distressed. Its choppy facets and uneven contours give it a quirky, informal tone suited to lighthearted or slightly spooky themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a deliberately handmade, cut-paper feel—combining simple sans structures with irregular faceting to create a distinctive, animated word texture.
The silhouette is the primary feature: abrupt angle changes and slight waviness create character even at display sizes. Numerals follow the same cutout logic, with compact forms and tight counters that emphasize impact over refinement.
