A heavy, blocky display face built from angular, mostly straight-sided strokes with abrupt corners and noticeably uneven edges. Glyphs have a cut-paper or carved look, with subtle waviness in verticals and horizontals and occasional skewed terminals that create a jittery rhythm across words. Counters tend to be small and squarish, and bowls are simplified into faceted shapes, producing a compact, poster-like texture. Spacing and letter widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the irregular, handmade construction while keeping an overall upright stance.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event flyers, game titles, and bold packaging callouts where its irregular rhythm can add character. It works well when you want a deliberately handmade, quirky voice, and is most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the faceted counters and uneven edges remain clear.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, suggesting DIY signage, comic energy, and playful disorder rather than precision. Its chunky silhouettes and uneven contouring read as intentionally rough, giving text a lively, slightly anarchic personality that feels attention-grabbing and humorous.
The design appears intended to mimic a rough, hand-cut stencil or carved block aesthetic, prioritizing personality and visual punch over uniformity. Its irregular widths and choppy geometry are likely meant to create a lively, one-off display feel that stands out in playful or unconventional branding.
Distinctive square counters in characters like O/0 and the simplified, geometric construction of curves make the font feel more cut from rectangles than drawn with a pen. Numerals and lowercase share the same chiseled, irregular logic as the capitals, keeping the texture consistent in mixed-case settings.
