A chunky, block-driven display face with irregular, angular contours and frequent notch-like cut-ins that create a cutout/fragmented feel. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, while counters and inner details appear as sharp slashes and small wedges that vary from glyph to glyph. The silhouettes are built from squarish masses with uneven corners and asymmetric joints, producing a deliberately unstable rhythm across words. Spacing and sidebearings look inconsistent by design, reinforcing the rough, collage-like texture in text.
Best suited for short display settings where the chunky silhouettes can breathe—posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging callouts, and title treatments. It can also work for playful branding accents or media like games and music artwork where an intentionally rough, experimental voice is desired.
The overall tone is mischievous and off-kilter, with a wry, rebellious energy. It reads like improvised lettering made from torn paper or carved blocks—humorous, noisy, and attention-seeking rather than refined or neutral.
The design appears intended to prioritize graphic impact and personality over regularity, using blocky forms and carved-in apertures to create a distinctive, wacky texture. Its irregular construction suggests a deliberate attempt to evoke handmade cutout lettering while remaining bold and highly visible.
At larger sizes the internal cuts add character and motion; at smaller sizes those details and tight counters can visually fill in, making the texture denser. The irregular shapes create a strong pattern on the line, so it tends to dominate surrounding typography.
