A heavy, block-based display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and frequent faceting along outer edges. Strokes are broadly uniform, with corners alternately squared off or abruptly beveled, creating a restless silhouette and uneven rhythm. Counters and apertures are largely collapsed, so letters read as solid silhouettes with only occasional notches or slits implying internal structure. Proportions are expansive and compact at once: wide bodies with short-looking joins and a tall, prominent lowercase presence that stays visually close to the caps.
Best suited for large-size display work where the chunky silhouettes and jagged facets can be appreciated—posters, headline locks, packaging callouts, merch, and entertainment or game branding. It can also work for short, punchy phrases in social graphics, but is likely to feel heavy and crowded in long passages or small UI text.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, with a raw, cut-paper or chipped-stencil energy. Its uneven edges and sealed interiors feel deliberately unruly, suggesting DIY posters, comic slapstick, and a slightly chaotic, rebellious attitude.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through mass and silhouette, replacing traditional counters with solid forms and adding irregular cuts for a handmade, unpredictable feel. The goal is expressive personality over neutrality, delivering a bold, tactile look that reads as intentionally rough and playful.
The dense silhouettes produce strong texture in paragraphs, with word shapes driven more by outer contour than internal counters. Individual glyphs show intentional inconsistencies and quirky cuts, which adds character but reduces clarity at small sizes or in tight spacing.
