A chunky, angular display face with irregular, hand-cut silhouettes and faceted corners. Strokes stay broadly even in weight, with sharp wedges, notches, and occasional cut-in counters that make forms feel carved rather than drawn. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and the baseline and cap-line feel loosely “wobbly,” creating a lively rhythm. Counters tend to be small and polygonal, and joins often break into abrupt angles instead of smooth curves.
Best suited for attention-grabbing display work such as posters, headlines, event titles, playful branding, and packaging where a deliberately rough, animated feel is desirable. It can also work for short bursts of copy in games or children’s media when set large with extra spacing.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, like paper-cut lettering for a comic title or a playful Halloween sign. Its uneven geometry reads intentionally scrappy and loud, prioritizing personality over refinement.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised, cut-out or carved lettering with an intentionally uneven cadence. By combining heavy forms with jagged geometry and inconsistent widths, it aims to deliver a one-off, characterful voice that feels handmade and exuberant.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the jagged terminals and irregular counters can be read as texture rather than noise. In dense settings the tight interior spaces and varied letterfit can create a busy texture, so generous tracking and short line lengths help.
