A heavy, display-oriented face with compact proportions and crisp, high-contrast silhouettes. Letterforms mix sturdy geometric stems with irregular, cut-out notches and sharp wedge terminals that create a deliberately rough, carved rhythm. Curves (like C, O, S) remain broadly round but are interrupted by angular bites and slanted cuts, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) lean into pointed intersections and faceted edges. The texture appears as thin internal slashes and breaks that read like scratches or paper-cut voids, giving each glyph a slightly distressed, hand-worked finish while keeping the overall set visually consistent.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications where the decorative cuts can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and event promotions. It works especially well when you want a bold shape with built-in texture, and is less appropriate for long passages or small UI sizes where the internal breaks may crowd.
The overall tone is wacky and energetic, with a slightly rebellious edge. It feels crafty and theatrical—more like a hand-cut stencil or chiseled sign than a polished text face—adding personality and motion even in short words.
The design appears intended to inject character through controlled irregularity—combining bold, readable cores with deliberate notches and scratch-like cuts to suggest something hand-made, energetic, and slightly unruly for expressive display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same cut-and-notch motif, helping headlines keep a unified texture across mixed case. Numerals are equally stylized, with the same angular intrusions and occasional internal slashes, so figures won’t look out of place in display settings.
