A chunky, hand-cut display face with uneven contours and deliberately rough geometry. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with frequent angled terminals, faceted curves, and slightly warped stems that create a jittery silhouette. Counters tend to be small and sometimes pinched, and round letters read as polygonal forms rather than smooth ovals. Spacing and widths feel inconsistent by design, giving the alphabet a lively, collaged rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and playful branding where personality matters more than typographic neutrality. It can also work well for comics, party invitations, and seasonal or spooky-fun graphics when set at larger sizes.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, like cut-paper lettering or a prop from a cartoon set. Its irregular edges and bouncy proportions convey humor, informality, and a slightly scrappy energy that feels more handmade than polished.
This font appears designed to foreground texture and character through irregular, chiseled forms and intentionally uneven construction. The goal is a distinctive display voice that feels handcrafted and comedic, standing out immediately in titles and punchy messaging.
Uppercase forms are compact and blocky, while lowercase keeps the same carved, faceted logic with simplified shapes and stout bowls. Numerals match the heavy, uneven construction, staying highly graphic and attention-grabbing rather than strictly utilitarian.
