This typeface uses sharply angled, faceted strokes that feel carved rather than drawn, with frequent notches and abrupt terminals. Letterforms lean consistently, while widths and interior shapes vary enough to create a lively, uneven rhythm. Curves are often broken into polygonal segments, producing octagonal counters (notably in rounded letters and numerals) and a distinctly jagged silhouette. The lowercase mixes simple, print-like constructions with occasional looped or hooked details, and the numerals follow the same cut-paper geometry with strong diagonals and pointed joins.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, event promotions, expressive branding, and packaging where an unconventional voice is desirable. It can also work for short pull quotes or title cards, especially when the goal is a retro-wacky, hand-cut impact rather than long-form readability.
The overall tone is mischievous and attention-grabbing, with a quirky, improvised energy. Its choppy, hand-made texture suggests something theatrical and offbeat rather than refined or neutral, giving headlines a spirited, slightly chaotic personality.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke a deliberately irregular, cut-and-carved aesthetic—prioritizing character, motion, and a distinctive silhouette over smooth continuity. The consistent slant and faceted construction suggest an intention to feel energetic and handmade while maintaining enough structure for readable display text.
The design reads best when set with some breathing room: the sharp corners and irregular stroke rhythm create dense black shapes at smaller sizes. The sample text shows a strong word-shape presence, where distinctive silhouettes carry the style more than fine internal detail.
