A chunky, all-caps-forward sans with sharply angular, cut-paper geometry and intentionally uneven contours. Strokes are built from broad polygonal slabs with abrupt corners, producing a faceted silhouette rather than smooth curves. The rhythm is irregular: widths and internal counters vary noticeably from letter to letter, and many glyphs lean on asymmetry and off-kilter joins for character. Apertures and counters tend to be small and boxy, and terminals often end in blunt wedges or clipped angles, giving the design a compact, punchy texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, display headlines, and bold packaging or label work where an expressive, handmade feel is desired. It can also work well for playful branding, merch graphics, and album or game-related title treatments where personality is more important than prolonged readability.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a DIY, collage-like attitude that feels intentionally rough and expressive. Its irregularity reads as humorous and attention-seeking, more like a graphic shout than a neutral text voice.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut shapes or a rough comic-display style, using exaggerated weight and irregular construction to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing voice. Its goal is expressive display impact rather than typographic neutrality.
The sample text shows strong word-shape variety and a busy texture driven by the jagged edges and inconsistent counter shapes, which can create a vibrating effect at smaller sizes. Numerals and lowercase follow the same cutout logic, with simplified, blocklike forms that prioritize impact over refinement.
