A chunky, hand-drawn display face with irregular, chiseled-looking outlines and slightly wobbly geometry. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline in feel, but edges taper and wobble subtly, creating a cut-paper or carved-marker silhouette. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and many forms show abrupt angles and flattened curves rather than smooth rounds. The rhythm is deliberately inconsistent across glyphs, giving the alphabet a lively, improvised texture while remaining broadly legible.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, event titles, album/episode graphics, playful branding, and packaging where texture and personality are desirable. It performs well at larger sizes where the irregular contours and tight counters can be appreciated without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a DIY, cartoon-prop feel. Its rough facets and off-kilter proportions read as humorous and slightly chaotic, suggesting playful signage, zany packaging, or lighthearted entertainment rather than serious editorial use.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally imperfect, handcrafted display voice—more characterful than polished—by combining bold block forms with irregular edges and inconsistent curves. The aim is a distinctive, one-off look that feels spontaneous and expressive.
Capital letters lean toward squarish, poster-like construction, while lowercase introduces more bounce and eccentric details (notably in rounded letters and the more angular joins). Numerals share the same carved, uneven contours, with strong presence and a hand-cut personality that stands out at large sizes.
