A heavy, slanted display face with condensed proportions and chunky, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms are built from broad, rounded masses that are repeatedly interrupted by sharp, torn-looking notches and angled cuts, giving the contours a rough, hand-shaped feel. Counters stay relatively tight and simple, while terminals often end in abrupt wedges that create a lively, irregular rhythm across words. Overall spacing is compact and the silhouette of each glyph reads as a bold block with expressive edge damage rather than fine internal detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture and personality are an asset: posters, comics and cartoon branding, event flyers, game or video thumbnails, and merchandise graphics. It performs strongest at larger sizes where the jagged cuts and compact counters remain clear.
The texture and slanted posture give the font a loud, mischievous energy—more cartoon title card than formal typography. Its ragged cuts and bouncy shapes suggest motion and attitude, evoking playful retro display lettering with a slightly chaotic, tongue-in-cheek edge.
This design appears intended to deliver instant character through bold, condensed forms and deliberately irregular, cut-in shapes. The goal is legibility at display sizes while injecting a hand-made, animated feel that stands out in energetic, youth-oriented or entertainment contexts.
The irregular edge treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping it feel intentional rather than distressed at random. The numerals match the same wedge-cut, chunky style, making it suitable for headlines that mix type and numbers without visual mismatch.
