A chunky display face with irregular, hand-cut silhouettes and uneven stroke edges. Forms are broadly proportioned and mostly upright, but each glyph carries small shape quirks—pinched joins, off-center counters, and slightly wobbly stems—that create a lively, inconsistent rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt and flattened, with occasional wedge-like notches that suggest a carved or stamped construction rather than smooth curves. Counters are generally small and sometimes asymmetric, and the numerals match the same heavy, sculpted look for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, playful packaging, and promotional graphics where personality matters more than refinement. It also works well for comedic titles, kids-oriented materials, and punchy social graphics when set large with loose tracking.
The overall tone is comedic and offbeat, leaning toward a mischievous, DIY energy. Its bouncy spacing and lopsided details read as intentionally “wrong” in a fun way, giving text a loud, cartoon-title attitude rather than a polished editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally irregular, one-off display voice—evoking cut-paper, carved rubber stamp, or hand-inked lettering—so that even simple words feel animated and characterful.
In running text the heavy color and irregular widths create a strong texture and a slightly jittery baseline feel, which adds character but reduces comfort at small sizes. The narrow apertures and tight counters can fill in when scaled down, so it benefits from generous size and air around it.
