A chunky, heavy display face with compact proportions and a faceted, cut-paper silhouette. Strokes are largely monoline in feel but punctuated by sharp notches, chamfered corners, and occasional wedge-like terminals that create an irregular rhythm. Curves are broad and rounded, yet often interrupted by angular cuts, giving counters a slightly pinched, stylized look. The overall texture is dense and dark, with lively, uneven details that keep letterforms from feeling geometric or strictly modular.
Best used for bold headlines, poster titles, playful branding marks, and packaging where a lively, offbeat voice is desirable. It works especially well in short phrases, badges, and display settings where the faceted silhouettes can be appreciated at comfortable sizes.
The font reads as mischievous and energetic, with a cartoonish swagger and a slightly rough, handmade edge. Its jagged cuts and exaggerated weight push it toward humorous, attention-grabbing messaging rather than refinement. The tone feels retro-inspired and theatrical, suited to playful headlines that want personality and motion.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a humorous, one-off character: combining rounded, friendly bones with sharp, decorative cuts to create a distinctive, animated texture. Its consistent notching and wedge terminals suggest a deliberate effort to look hand-cut or chiseled while staying highly legible for display use.
The distinctive corner cuts and intermittent spikes create strong silhouette recognition at larger sizes, but the dense weight and irregular detailing can make long passages feel busy. Numerals and capitals carry the same carved, notched motif, keeping the set visually consistent and suited to punchy, short-form typography.
