A heavy, angular display face built from sharp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are chunky and mostly monolinear, with abrupt corners, clipped joins, and occasional cut-in counters that give forms a carved, polygonal feel. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. The lowercase is present and readable but keeps the same jagged construction, with simple, block-like silhouettes and minimal interior detailing.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, album or event titles, packaging, and branding that wants a playful bite. It can also work for game UI, stickers, and merch where a bold, cut-out aesthetic helps labels pop against busy backgrounds.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, like lettering cut from paper or chiseled from soft material. Its irregular geometry and tilted, restless rhythm feel energetic and a bit rowdy, projecting a DIY, comic, and slightly spooky attitude without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to replace conventional curves with faceted cuts to evoke hand-made, carved, or cut-paper lettering while remaining highly legible. Its irregular widths and chunky forms prioritize personality and visual punch over typographic neutrality.
In text settings the dense color and faceted edges create a strong texture; spacing appears intentionally uneven to support the hand-made character. Counters can be tight in letters like a, e, and 8, which increases impact but benefits from moderate sizes and generous leading for longer passages.
