A chunky, angular display face built from heavy, mostly straight strokes with sharply cut corners and frequent notches. Many glyphs feel hand-cut rather than mechanically precise, with irregular joins, asymmetric counters, and occasional wedge-like terminals that create a jittery rhythm. Counters are small and squarish, apertures tend to be tight, and the overall silhouette reads dense and poster-like. Numerals and lowercase share the same blunt, cut-paper construction, maintaining a consistent dark mass while allowing noticeable per-glyph idiosyncrasies.
Best suited for short-form display settings such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging callouts, and entertainment-oriented graphics where a bold, eccentric voice is desired. It can work as an accent typeface paired with a simpler text face, especially in youth, gaming, or playful editorial contexts.
The tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a handmade, slightly chaotic energy. Its blocky shapes and quirky cuts evoke retro game graphics, zine lettering, and cartoon title cards, giving text an intentionally “wacky” personality rather than a polished, corporate feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately irregular, handcrafted geometry—like letters cut from black paper or assembled from chunky blocks. Its distinctive notches and uneven shapes suggest an experimental display font meant to inject humor and character into titles and branding.
Spacing appears lively and uneven by design, and some characters use unconventional internal shapes (e.g., angular bowls and stepped horizontals) that prioritize attitude over neutrality. The heavy weight and tight openings make it strongest at larger sizes where the cut-in details remain legible.
