A heavy, blocky display face with softly rounded outer corners and irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with tight counters that often read as small rectangular cut-ins, giving many letters a punched or notched look. The geometry stays broadly squarish, but edges wobble subtly and terminals vary, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share the same chunky construction, and the numerals follow the same carved-block logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, and playful logotypes. It also works well for kids-oriented graphics, games, and entertainment branding where character is more important than neutrality. Use generous sizing and spacing to let the small counters and carved details stay clear.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, like cut paper signage or a cartoon title card. Its quirky irregularities and compact apertures add a mischievous, slightly goofy personality that reads more fun than formal.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, humorous display voice through chunky proportions and deliberate irregularity, evoking hand-made lettering while keeping a consistent block construction across the alphabet and figures.
The face maintains strong silhouette recognition through exaggerated mass and simplified forms, while the small counters and notches add texture at larger sizes. In text settings, the chunky shapes create a lively, bouncy color, but the tight internal spaces and busy edges make it feel most at home as a headline style.
