A chunky, heavy display face with collapsed counters and a near-stencil-free, solid silhouette. Letterforms lean with an energetic, uneven baseline and a cut-paper rhythm: strokes look carved and faceted, with abrupt angles, soft bulges, and irregular terminals that vary from glyph to glyph. Shapes are compact and tightly packed, with simplified interiors (often fully closed) that emphasize mass over detail, while round characters (O, Q, 0) appear as dense blobs with small or minimal interior definition. Overall spacing and widths fluctuate, reinforcing a deliberately rough, handmade look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging callouts, and merch or sticker-style graphics. It works well when you want a bold, humorous voice and can keep copy brief, using ample spacing for legibility.
The font projects a loud, mischievous tone—more shout than speak—evoking comic signage, DIY posters, and playful chaos. Its lopsided tilt and blobby geometry feel humorous and slightly anarchic, prioritizing personality and impact over refinement.
The design intention appears to be maximum visual punch through exaggerated, irregular silhouettes and a handmade, cutout sensibility. By minimizing interior openings and embracing uneven geometry and slant, it aims to feel expressive and playful rather than typographically neutral.
At text sizes the filled-in counters and uneven stroke edges reduce clarity, especially in letters that rely on interior structure (e.g., a/e/s, 8/9). It reads best when given room, with generous tracking and simple color contrast to preserve the silhouette.
