A heavy, compact display face with chunky silhouettes and abrupt, chiseled terminals. Letterforms lean on simple geometric masses, then break into irregular facets and sharp notches, creating a cut-paper or carved look. Strokes are mostly monoline in spirit but interrupted by high-contrast “slash” cuts and internal streaks that introduce visual texture and jitter. Counters are often tight and asymmetric, and curves are simplified into bold, bulging shapes that snap into angled joins, giving the set an intentionally uneven rhythm across glyphs.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, punchy headlines, event graphics, game or entertainment titles, and expressive packaging callouts. It can work well in branding where a rough, handmade attitude is desired, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for supporting copy.
The overall tone is mischievous and unruly, like DIY lettering made for attention rather than refinement. The slashed detailing adds a slightly aggressive, street-poster energy, while the rounded bulk keeps it friendly and cartoonish. It reads as energetic, quirky, and deliberately imperfect.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, one-off personality through irregular, sliced detailing and chunky forms, prioritizing character and texture over typographic neutrality. Its construction suggests a deliberate “hand-cut” aesthetic aimed at eye-catching display use.
The texture-like cut marks are a defining feature and can become visually dominant at smaller sizes or in long passages. Spacing feels tuned for display impact, with many letters appearing tight and dense, which amplifies the bold, poster-ready presence.
