A heavy, angular display face with chunky strokes and sharply cut corners. Glyphs are built from faceted, polygonal shapes that feel carved or cut from paper, with irregular angles and slight, inconsistent lean across characters. Counters are small and often sharply notched, and terminals end abruptly with wedge-like cuts. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a bouncy rhythm and a deliberately uneven texture in words and lines.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as posters, event flyers, packaging accents, punchy branding, and entertainment-oriented graphics. It can also work well for short labels or titles where a handmade, cutout aesthetic is desired and legibility at small sizes is not the primary goal.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, combining a handmade cut-out feel with a slightly edgy, cartoonish bite. Its jagged geometry reads as informal and expressive rather than precise or technical, lending a spirited, rebellious flavor to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handcrafted impact through faceted letterforms and intentionally imperfect consistency. Its irregular geometry and compact counters emphasize personality and energy over neutrality, aiming to stand out quickly in visual compositions.
The font’s strong silhouette and compact counters make it most impactful at larger sizes, where the angular details and quirky proportions remain clear. In longer text, the irregular widths and abrupt joins create a busy texture that favors short bursts over continuous reading.
