A heavy, blocky display face built from irregular polygonal forms with sharp corners and chiseled-looking cut-ins. Strokes feel carved rather than drawn, with uneven edges, inconsistent joins, and a deliberately lopsided baseline and cap alignment that creates a bouncy rhythm. Counters are small and often faceted, and many glyphs show exaggerated internal notches and asymmetrical terminals. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, reinforcing the cutout, collage-like construction.
Best suited to short, loud settings such as posters, punchy headlines, sticker-style graphics, packaging callouts, and music or event artwork. It works well when you want type that acts like an illustration and can tolerate (or benefit from) irregular rhythm and varied widths.
The overall tone is goofy and unruly, with a kinetic, DIY energy that reads as comedic rather than refined. Its jagged silhouettes and wobbling stance suggest mischief, spontaneity, and a slightly rebellious cartoon attitude.
The font appears designed to emulate rough, hand-cut lettering with an intentionally awkward, animated cadence. Its goal is impact and character—prioritizing bold silhouettes, quirky geometry, and playful distortion over typographic neutrality or long-form readability.
The design’s texture comes from silhouette irregularity rather than stroke contrast: it relies on angular cutaways, uneven verticals, and shifting proportions to create motion. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense shapes may clump, while at headline sizes the distinctive cut edges become the main personality.
