A chunky, irregular display face with angular, hand-cut outlines and consistently heavy strokes. Letterforms are built from straight segments and faceted corners, with slight wobble in stems and sporadic inward notches that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and squarish, curves are simplified into multi-sided shapes, and terminals often finish in blunt, wedge-like ends. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, reinforcing an energetic, uneven rhythm in words and lines of text.
Best used at display sizes where the jagged corners and notches can register clearly—posters, splashy headlines, covers, and playful packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or titles in games and interactive projects that benefit from a handmade, quirky voice, but is less suited to long-form reading.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a DIY, cut-paper feel that reads more humorous than formal. Its irregular geometry gives it a lively, slightly chaotic character suited to eccentric or tongue-in-cheek messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic irregular, hand-made lettering—like cut-out or roughly carved shapes—while maintaining enough consistency to function as a cohesive typeface. Its goal is expressive impact and characterful texture rather than typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms appear more rigidly faceted while lowercase introduces more bounce and idiosyncratic details (notably in single-storey shapes and descenders). Numerals follow the same angular construction, with distinctive, blocky silhouettes that prioritize personality over uniformity.
