A chunky, all-caps-forward display face with irregular, chiseled contours and a cut-paper silhouette. Strokes are heavy and largely monoline, but edges wobble with small nicks, dents, and faceted corners that make each glyph feel hand-shaped rather than mechanically drawn. Counters are compact and often slightly off-center, while terminals tend to end in blunt, asymmetric wedges. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, creating a lively, uneven rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy where character is more important than smooth readability—posters, event flyers, product packaging, stickers, and playful branding moments. It also works well for entertainment-oriented graphics such as album artwork, game UI titles, or comic-inspired layouts where an intentionally rough, energetic texture is desired.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a DIY, slightly chaotic energy. Its rough, carved texture reads as humorous and intentionally imperfect, leaning toward a cartoon title-card feel rather than refined typography.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-cut or carved letterforms with an intentionally uneven finish, delivering a bold, attention-grabbing display voice. Its variable widths and jagged edges prioritize personality and motion over typographic regularity, aiming for a distinctive, one-off headline style.
The uppercase set appears especially strong and blocky, while lowercase forms retain the same jagged construction, helping maintain a consistent voice across mixed-case text. Numerals match the same faceted, irregular style, making the set cohesive for headlines and short statements.
