A chunky display face with irregular, carved-looking strokes and jagged edges. The letterforms are built from simplified shapes with uneven curves and faceted corners, giving a cut-paper or hand-chiseled silhouette rather than smooth geometry. Counters are small and often asymmetric, terminals look broken or tapered, and the rhythm is intentionally inconsistent from glyph to glyph. The proportions are expansive, with broad bowls and wide stance, while spacing and widths vary noticeably to reinforce the handcrafted feel.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, event flyers, title treatments, packaging accents, stickers, and playful branding moments. It works well when you want a bold handmade voice and a distinctive texture, especially in large display settings rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat—more doodled than formal—suggesting humor, DIY craft, and slightly chaotic energy. Its rough contours and uneven texture add a playful, rebellious character that reads as intentionally imperfect and attention-seeking.
Likely designed to mimic an improvised, hand-cut or carved lettering style—deliberately irregular and graphic—so it can inject personality and a bit of visual noise into display text. The consistent rough-edge motif across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests a cohesive novelty display tool aimed at expressive, non-corporate applications.
Legibility holds best at larger sizes where the distinctive silhouettes and rough edges can be appreciated; in smaller text the tight counters and irregular stroke edges may start to blur together. Numerals match the same cut, rugged construction and feel consistent with the alphabet.
