A heavy, angular display face with uneven, hand-cut contours and abrupt corner breaks that give each glyph a slightly different silhouette. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline, with sharp wedges, notches, and occasional teardrop-like terminals that create a jagged rhythm across words. Counters are compact and irregular (notably in forms like O and P), and the baseline and sidebearings feel loosely controlled, producing an intentionally bouncy texture in text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same carved, asymmetric logic, keeping the set visually consistent despite the deliberate roughness.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, event flyers, and splashy packaging where the irregular cut shapes can be read as a deliberate stylistic choice. It also fits playful entertainment contexts such as game titles, party branding, and comedic or spooky-leaning display copy where texture and attitude matter more than smooth readability.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, with a mischievous, comic edge. Its choppy geometry and irregular rhythm suggest handmade energy—more shouty and theatrical than refined—making it feel energetic, a bit chaotic, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to emulate a rough, hand-carved or cut-paper aesthetic with exaggerated angularity and uneven construction. Rather than aiming for typographic neutrality, it prioritizes character, texture, and a distinctive word image that immediately signals informality and fun.
The face relies on distinctive internal cutouts and sharp diagonals for character, so spacing and word shapes become a major part of the look. At smaller sizes the tight counters and busy edges can thicken into dense blobs, while larger settings highlight the quirky silhouettes and notched details.
