A heavy, chunky display face built from irregular, angular blocks with slightly unstable sides and corners, as if cut from paper or carved by hand. Strokes stay broadly monolinear, but edges wobble and pinch subtly, creating a lively, uneven silhouette. Counters are small and often squarish, punctuation and joins feel improvised, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with simple, sometimes lumpy bowls and short ascenders/descenders, while numerals echo the same faceted, cutout geometry.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like posters, cover titles, playful branding, event flyers, stickers, and packaging where character is more important than neutrality. It also works well for children’s materials and humorous or whimsical messaging when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is goofy and energetic, with a DIY, handmade roughness that reads more comedic than aggressive. Its irregular rhythm and wobbly geometry suggest spontaneity and mischief, making text feel animated and informal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality through exaggerated weight and intentionally imperfect, hand-made geometry, creating a one-off display voice that feels crafted, fun, and slightly chaotic.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight internal spaces make the font most comfortable at larger sizes, where the distinctive silhouettes and quirky shapes remain clear. The uneven widths and slightly off-kilter construction add personality but reduce uniformity for long, continuous reading.
