A chunky, all-caps-forward display face built from irregular, angular shapes with uneven edges and a hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline in feel, but widths and terminals shift unpredictably, creating a lively, lopsided rhythm. Counters are small and often faceted (notably in round letters and numerals), and many joins look notched or chipped, as if carved or torn from paper. The overall construction stays upright, but individual glyphs wobble in proportion and stance, giving the alphabet a deliberately inconsistent, collage-like texture.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy where a loud, playful texture is an asset—posters, event flyers, comic or kids-oriented titling, game or app headings, and novelty packaging. It performs most clearly at larger sizes with generous tracking and leading, where the irregular contours and faceted counters have room to read.
The font reads as energetic and mischievous, with a deliberately “wrong” geometry that feels comedic and a bit unruly. Its jagged cutout shapes suggest DIY craft, spooky-fun theatrics, and offbeat humor rather than refinement or neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut, improvised letterform style—part ransom-note, part carved-block—prioritizing character and surprise over uniformity. Its purpose is to inject humor and visual noise into display typography, creating an immediate, distinctive voice.
Uppercase forms dominate the personality, while lowercase remains similarly blocky and angular, with compact bowls and simplified structures. Numerals follow the same faceted, cutout logic, with especially distinctive 0, 6, 8, and 9. In the text sample, the irregular widths and choppy terminals create a strong texture that becomes busy when set tightly or at smaller sizes.
