A chunky, angular display face built from irregular, slab-like shapes with subtly skewed geometry and uneven silhouettes. Strokes are consistently heavy, with hard corners and frequent wedge cuts that create notches and chiseled counters. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a bouncy rhythm; curves are simplified into faceted forms, and diagonals appear slightly off-kilter for an intentionally rough, cut-paper feel. Spacing and sidebearings read as generous and loose, reinforcing the energetic, scattershot texture in words.
Best used as a display font for posters, event promotions, playful branding, packaging, and comic or game-adjacent graphics where personality matters more than neutrality. It works well for short bursts of text—titles, stickers, and callouts—where the heavy, jagged shapes can read big and bold.
The overall tone is mischievous and cartoonish, with a DIY edge that feels loud and unserious in the best way. Its irregularity suggests humor, spontaneity, and a deliberately “wonky” personality suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum character through deliberately imperfect, cut-out letterforms: strong silhouettes, faceted construction, and inconsistent widths that create a lively, handcrafted texture. It prioritizes expressive impact and novelty over continuous-text comfort.
Counters tend to be small and often asymmetrical, which boosts impact at larger sizes while reducing clarity in longer passages. Many letters lean on geometric construction (blocky bowls, faceted rounds), but the consistent chisel/notch motif helps keep the alphabet visually cohesive despite the deliberate irregularity.
