A chunky, heavy display face built from angular, cut-paper-like strokes with uneven edges and subtly shifting widths. Forms are upright but intentionally irregular, with wobbling verticals, tilted terminals, and small notches that make each glyph feel hand-shaped rather than mechanically drawn. Counters are compact and often squared-off, and curves are rendered as faceted, polygonal bends that keep the overall texture crisp and jagged.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, splashy titles, and playful packaging. It can also work for labels, stickers, and event graphics where a bold, offbeat personality is desired; for extended reading, it’s more effective in brief bursts or as a supporting accent.
The tone is playful and mischievous, like hand-cut signage for a quirky event or a comedic title card. Its deliberate wobble and blocky swagger create a loud, informal voice that reads as eccentric and slightly chaotic, more about personality than polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a deliberately imperfect, hand-crafted block look—prioritizing character, surprise, and visual punch over uniformity. Its faceted curves and notched strokes suggest a stylized cutout or carved approach meant to feel spontaneous and fun.
The font creates a strong dark color on the page and a lively rhythm in longer lines, where the uneven silhouettes add movement. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing the handmade feel and making it most effective at larger sizes where the irregular details can be appreciated.
