A chunky, angular display face built from irregular, faceted strokes that feel cut or torn rather than drawn with smooth curves. Letterforms lean on sharp corners, uneven stroke edges, and subtly unstable baselines, creating a lively, jittery rhythm across words. Counters are small and often polygonal, and many shapes show deliberate asymmetry and varied internal geometry, which reinforces the improvised, collage-like construction. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, emphasizing an animated, hand-built texture in text.
Best suited to display work such as posters, attention-grabbing headlines, album or zine covers, playful branding, and packaging where an energetic, unconventional voice is desirable. It performs especially well in short bursts—titles, pull quotes, and labels—where its jagged texture can be appreciated without compromising readability.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a rambunctious energy that reads as intentionally imperfect and slightly unruly. It suggests humor, eccentricity, and a DIY edge—more about personality and motion than polish or restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful voice through deliberately irregular construction—prioritizing visual attitude and spontaneous rhythm over typographic neutrality. Its faceted, cut-paper feel and animated proportions aim to make text look hand-made and expressive, turning words into graphic shapes.
The font’s distinctive silhouette relies on consistent sharpness and uneven edges rather than decorative add-ons, so its character comes through strongly even in short words. The bold black shapes create high impact, but the irregular contours and tight counters can make longer passages feel busy at smaller sizes.
