This typeface uses heavy, chunky silhouettes with a consistent rightward slant and deliberately uneven contours. Strokes terminate in chiseled, wedge-like cuts and irregular flats, creating a cutout look rather than smooth geometric curves. Counters are frequently reduced or pinched, and several glyphs show asymmetrical balance and varied internal spacing, giving the alphabet a lively, improvised rhythm. Overall spacing feels compact, with tight apertures and dense letterforms that read best at larger sizes.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, stickers, and attention-grabbing packaging. It works especially well where a bold, humorous, rough-edged voice is desired; for longer passages or small sizes, the tight counters and irregular edges can reduce clarity.
The tone is loud and playful, with a slightly rough, mischievous energy reminiscent of hand-cut signage and comic display lettering. Its exaggerated weight and jagged details give it a spirited, rebellious feel that favors personality over refinement.
The design appears intended as a characterful, high-ink display face that mimics hand-cut or carved letterforms. Its irregular cuts, dense silhouettes, and emphatic slant suggest a goal of maximizing visual impact and attitude while keeping a cohesive, repeatable shape system across letters and numbers.
Round characters like O, C, and G keep a broadly rounded mass but are interrupted by angular notches and flattened segments, reinforcing the cut-and-paste aesthetic. The figures follow the same visual language, with bold, simplified forms and occasional carved-looking bites that add motion and texture in headlines.
