A chunky display face built from irregular, faceted strokes that feel cut from paper or carved from soft material. Letterforms are mostly upright but intentionally uneven, with jittery contours, asymmetric joins, and wedge-like terminals that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are small and often polygonal, and the overall silhouette stays dense and dark while individual glyphs vary in width and stance. Figures and lowercase echo the same rough-hewn geometry, keeping a consistent, intentionally off-kilter texture across lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, splashy headlines, event promos, and packaging where a handmade, humorous voice is desirable. It can also work for children’s materials, comics, or playful branding accents, especially when used large with ample spacing.
The tone is mischievous and comedic, with a handmade roughness that reads as energetic rather than polished. Its jagged edges and playful inconsistencies give it a “wacky title card” personality—bold, attention-seeking, and characterful.
The design appears intended to prioritize personality and texture over neutrality: a deliberately uneven, hand-cut look that turns simple words into graphic shapes. Its consistent rough geometry suggests a controlled irregularity aimed at creating an expressive, animated feel in display typography.
In paragraph samples the strong black mass and uneven outlines create a textured color that can feel busy at smaller sizes; it benefits from generous sizing and a bit of extra tracking. The all-caps set is especially punchy, while the lowercase remains highly stylized with distinctive, irregular bowls and diagonals.
