A chunky, all-caps-forward display face with heavy, monolinear strokes and irregular, hand-cut edges. Letterforms are built from blocky, mostly rectangular masses with slightly wavering sides, uneven corners, and occasional notches that create a carved or stamped feel. Counters tend to be small and squarish, and curves are minimized in favor of angular bowls and stepped joins. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally uneven rhythm while keeping a consistent overall weight and upright stance.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, stickers, packaging callouts, and playful branding or logo wordmarks. It can work for comic-style titles and event graphics where a loud, handmade texture is desirable, but its dense counters and irregular rhythm make it less suitable for long paragraphs or small sizes.
The tone is mischievous and kinetic, like a bold cut-paper headline or a cartoon title card. Its intentional roughness and quirky geometry give it a humorous, DIY character that feels informal and attention-seeking rather than polished or restrained.
The design appears intended to prioritize personality and punch over neutrality, using a consistent slab-like construction and deliberately uneven edges to mimic hand-cut lettering. Its system of squarish counters and angular bowls aims to deliver a bold, humorous display voice that stands out immediately.
Uppercase forms read as compact and poster-like, while lowercase keeps the same block construction, making mixed-case text feel more like a stylized display system than a traditional text face. Numerals follow the same squared, cutout logic, staying bold and highly graphic.
