A jagged, angular display face with an intentionally uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are mostly monolinear with occasional small flares and wedge-like terminals, giving letters a chiseled, paper-cut feel. Counters tend toward polygonal shapes, and curves are simplified into faceted bends; this creates a lively, shifting rhythm across words. Proportions are compact and narrow overall, but character widths vary noticeably, emphasizing its irregular, handmade construction.
Best suited for display settings where personality is the priority: posters, event titles, playful branding, packaging, album artwork, and game or entertainment UI. It can work for short paragraphs in larger sizes, but its irregular rhythm and sharp corners are most effective in headlines, pull quotes, and branding lockups.
The font reads as quirky and mischievous, with a cartoonish edge that feels hand-made rather than engineered. Its faceted strokes and lopsided details add a sense of spontaneity and humor, lending a slightly chaotic, zany tone to headlines and short bursts of text.
Likely designed to mimic a rough, hand-crafted lettering style—somewhere between cut-paper shapes and chiseled signage—while staying legible enough for punchy copy. The goal appears to be distinctive texture and characterful word shapes rather than typographic neutrality.
Distinctive one-off details—like angular bowls, bent diagonals, and occasional spur-like terminals—create strong character recognition but reduce uniformity at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals match the same cut-out geometry, keeping the overall texture bold and highly stylized across mixed content.
