A chunky, all-caps-and-lowercase display face built from irregular, faceted shapes. Strokes read as thick slabs with chiseled corners, producing a cut-paper or carved-block look rather than smooth curves. Counters are small and often polygonal, with noticeable notches and asymmetries that vary from glyph to glyph. The baseline and sidebearings feel loose and slightly uneven, creating a lively, bouncy rhythm in text while remaining generally legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, kids or party collateral, playful packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It also works well for humorous branding moments, social graphics, and label-like applications where texture and personality are more important than long-form readability.
The overall tone is mischievous and lighthearted, with a distinctly homemade, cutout energy. Its jagged geometry and inconsistent angles give it a humorous, offbeat personality that feels more like a prop or title card than a conventional typeface. The texture suggests playful chaos—confident, loud, and intentionally imperfect.
The design appears intended to evoke a deliberately rough, cutout aesthetic—like letters carved from cardboard or roughly hewn from stone—while staying readable enough for punchy display copy. Its irregular edges and shifting geometry prioritize character, spontaneity, and visual noise to create a distinctive, one-off voice.
Uppercase forms are especially blocky and poster-like, while lowercase adds extra quirk through simplified, chunky constructions and compact apertures. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with bold silhouettes and slightly unstable proportions that emphasize character over precision.
