This typeface uses compact, upright letterforms built from mostly straight segments with sharp corners and occasional wedge-like terminals. Strokes keep a broadly even thickness, but edges are intentionally uneven and slightly skewed, creating a cut-paper or roughly carved silhouette. Counters are small and squarish, and many curves are simplified into faceted forms, giving round letters a subtly polygonal feel. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, irregular rhythm while maintaining a consistent overall darkness.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of text where a bold, characterful texture is desired. It can add attitude to event flyers, music or game-related graphics, stickers, and expressive packaging, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels mischievous and off-kilter, with a DIY energy that reads as intentionally rough rather than distressed. Its angular wobble and hand-cut geometry suggest playful rebellion and a slightly spooky, comic edge.
The letterforms appear designed to capture a hand-made, cutout aesthetic within a clean sans framework, prioritizing personality and visual punch over typographic neutrality. The irregular widths and angular simplifications reinforce a deliberately quirky display voice.
The design stays legible at display sizes, but the tight counters and jagged outlines can visually fill in as sizes shrink or when set in long paragraphs. Numerals and punctuation match the same chopped, angular construction, helping headings and short statements keep a unified, graphic voice.
