A heavy, blocky display face built from irregular, angular silhouettes with occasional soft bulges. Counters are largely collapsed, so many letters read as solid shapes with only small notches or slits suggesting interior space. Stroke endings look chipped and torn, producing a cut-paper rhythm and uneven edge texture across the set. Proportions are inconsistent by design—some glyphs are squat and wide while others narrow abruptly—yet the overall color stays dense and uniform, with minimal internal detailing.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, packaging callouts, logos, and bold editorial headlines where texture and attitude matter more than fine legibility. It can also work well for themed event graphics or playful branding when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font conveys a playful, unruly tone, like letters cut from thick paper or carved from foam. Its rough edges and simplified interiors add a mischievous, slightly chaotic character that feels more illustrative than typographic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and personality through irregular, cutout-like silhouettes and intentionally reduced counters. It prioritizes graphic impact and a handmade, collage aesthetic over conventional readability and typographic refinement.
Because many apertures and counters are reduced to small bites, letter recognition depends on the outer silhouette and characteristic notches (notably in forms like a, e, g, and s). Numerals and capitals share the same chunky, chiseled logic, giving a consistent, poster-like texture when set in lines.
