A jagged, cut-paper display face built from sharp polygonal strokes and uneven, wedge-like terminals. Letters show deliberate irregularity in contour and internal counters, with frequent notches, kinks, and skewed joins that create a restless rhythm across words. Curves are largely faceted into angled segments, while diagonals and tapered strokes give many glyphs a slightly slashed, kinetic feel. Spacing and silhouette widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally unstable texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging accents, event flyers, and title treatments where the jagged texture can be appreciated. It can also work for game titles, zines, or album/track art that benefits from a scrappy, eccentric voice. Use larger sizes and generous spacing when legibility is important.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a rough, handmade energy that reads like stenciled shapes cut with a knife. Its spiky geometry and quirky letterforms suggest humor, campy menace, or playful anarchy rather than refinement. The voice feels loud and characterful, designed to grab attention and signal something unconventional.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, character-forward look that feels hand-made and unpredictably shaped, prioritizing attitude and texture over typographic neutrality. Its faceted construction and irregular rhythm suggest a deliberate attempt to evoke cutout lettering or improvised signage for expressive display use.
The numerals and lowercase maintain the same faceted construction as the caps, helping the set feel cohesive despite the irregular outlines. Many forms rely on dramatic angles and abrupt direction changes, which amplifies personality but can reduce clarity at small sizes, especially in dense text.
