A heavy, blocky sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Letterforms are built from chunky strokes with faceted corners and uneven edges, producing a slightly wobbly baseline and varied sidebearings that make the texture feel lively. Counters tend to be compact and somewhat angular, and curves are simplified into chiseled arcs rather than smooth rounds. Overall spacing and widths shift noticeably from glyph to glyph, emphasizing a handmade, cut-paper rhythm rather than strict geometric regularity.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and playful branding where personality is more important than neutrality. It also works well for comic-style captions, stickers, and merchandise graphics that benefit from a bold, handmade look.
The font projects a mischievous, comic energy—like bold display lettering cut from construction paper or painted with a broad brush and then trimmed. Its rough-hewn shapes feel informal and attention-grabbing, suggesting humor, spontaneity, and a bit of controlled chaos.
The design appears intended to deliver a loud, friendly display voice with a deliberately imperfect, cut-out feel. Its goal is to look handcrafted and expressive while remaining clearly legible in large sizes and simple compositions.
At text sizes the dense black shapes and tight counters can create a strong, poster-like color, while the irregular outlines remain visible and contribute to the voice. Numerals match the same chunky, faceted construction, reinforcing a cohesive, playful display texture across letters and figures.
