A heavy, block-built display face with deliberately irregular geometry and a hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with sharp corners, trapezoidal counters, and uneven edges that introduce a subtle wobble from letter to letter. Terminals tend to be blunt and angular, and many forms look slightly skewed or tilted, creating an inconsistent rhythm that reads as intentional. Counters are often small and squared-off, and spacing feels lively rather than strictly uniform, reinforcing the cutout, collage-like construction.
Best suited for short, bold text such as posters, cover titles, event promos, packaging callouts, and playful branding moments. It works well when you want an intentionally imperfect, handmade look that can carry a layout on its own, especially in high-contrast applications like black-on-white.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a playful, slightly chaotic energy. Its quirky distortions and chunky presence evoke handmade signage, cartoon title cards, and DIY zine aesthetics—friendly, attention-seeking, and not meant to be too serious.
The design appears intended to mimic rough-cut lettering—part stencil, part paper-cut—where quirky inconsistencies and angular construction are the defining character. It prioritizes personality and visual punch over typographic neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, one-off display voice.
At larger sizes the jagged outlines and quirky proportions become a feature, while in smaller settings the tight counters and irregular spacing can reduce clarity. The numerals match the same cut-paper attitude, keeping the set cohesive for bold, graphic compositions.
