A chunky, heavy display face built from irregular, faceted strokes with chiseled corners and frequent notches. The silhouettes are compact and blocky, with largely monoline construction and minimal interior detailing, creating strong dark shapes. Curves are simplified into polygonal arcs, and many terminals look cut off or broken, giving the outlines a torn, hand-cut feel. Spacing and sidebearings vary noticeably between glyphs, reinforcing an uneven, animated rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, event flyers, packaging callouts, and punchy headlines where the rough texture is an asset. It also fits playful editorial moments, kids or game-related graphics, and comic-style titling. Avoid long paragraphs or small UI text, where the dense shapes and uneven rhythm can reduce readability.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a deliberately imperfect, hand-made character. Its jagged geometry reads as humorous and slightly unruly, like cut-paper lettering or a cartoon title card. The texture adds a gritty, offbeat attitude while staying bold and friendly rather than ominous.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate personality through bold massing and intentionally irregular contours, prioritizing character over typographic polish. Its faceted, hand-cut shapes suggest a purpose-built display font for expressive titles and quirky branding moments.
Counters tend to be small and irregular, which increases visual density at smaller sizes; the face performs best when given room to breathe. The uppercase and lowercase share the same rough, chunky voice, and numerals match the same faceted, cut-out construction.
