A heavy, blocky sans with chiseled, angular outlines and an intentionally uneven silhouette. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with frequent diagonal cuts, notches, and beveled corners that create a rough, hand-cut look. Counters are small and irregular (notably in O/0/8), and curves are often faceted into polygonal forms rather than smooth arcs. The lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and simplified joins, and the overall rhythm is energetic due to subtle per-glyph irregularities in width and contour.
Best suited for short display settings where impact matters: posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging, and sticker-style graphics. It works well for youth-oriented branding, playful food or entertainment promos, and projects that benefit from a handmade, informal edge. Use larger sizes and generous spacing to preserve the interior shapes and keep the texture from clogging.
The font conveys a loud, mischievous tone—more handmade and comedic than formal. Its jagged, cut-paper geometry suggests DIY signage, zines, and playful horror or Halloween-adjacent styling without leaning into ornament. The texture reads as bold and attention-seeking, with a slightly chaotic, street-poster attitude.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or roughly carved letterforms in a bold, simplified sans framework, prioritizing character and punch over smoothness and strict uniformity. Its faceted corners and notched terminals are used to create a consistent ‘cutout’ texture across letters and numerals, yielding a distinctive, high-energy display voice.
The faceted construction produces strong color at display sizes, while the tight counters and rugged edges can make longer text feel dense. Numerals match the same carved geometry, with especially distinctive 2, 3, 5, and 7 forms that emphasize diagonal chops and asymmetry.
