A jagged, hand-cut sans with chunky strokes and angular, slightly skewed geometry. Letterforms are built from straight segments with sharp corners and uneven joins, creating a deliberately irregular rhythm across words. Counters tend to be boxy and compact, with occasional asymmetry and varying internal shapes between similar forms. Spacing and widths feel non-uniform, giving lines a lively, staggered texture while remaining clearly legible at display sizes.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, packaging accents, and entertainment-driven graphics where an offbeat, handcrafted voice is desired. It can work effectively in comics, game UI titles, kids-oriented materials, and event promotions, especially when set large and paired with a calmer companion for body text.
The overall tone is mischievous and informal, with a DIY energy that reads as playful rather than polished. Its uneven silhouettes and comic-like bounce suggest humor, spontaneity, and a slightly spooky or zany attitude suited to expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or marker-block lettering with purposeful inconsistencies, prioritizing personality and motion over geometric precision. It aims to deliver a distinctive, friendly display voice that stands out quickly in short phrases and titles.
Numerals echo the same cut-paper construction, with simplified, geometric curves and abrupt angles. The sample text shows the face holding together best when given generous size and leading, where the intentional irregularities read as character rather than noise.
