A heavy, angular display face built from chunky, faceted shapes with abrupt cuts and irregular corner treatments. Strokes keep an overall consistent thickness while edges wobble subtly, producing a hand-cut, collage-like silhouette rather than clean geometry. Counters are small and sharp (often polygonal), and many joins end in wedges or notches that create a restless rhythm across words. The alphabet mixes squared and slightly compressed forms with uneven internal spacing, giving lines of text a lively, uneven texture.
Best suited to short display text where texture and personality are the goal: posters, event flyers, packaging accents, album/cover art, game or arcade-style titles, and punchy social graphics. It can also work for emphatic pull quotes or section headers when paired with a calmer text face for readability.
The tone is loud and mischievous, with a DIY, zine-like energy that feels deliberately imperfect. Its jagged facets and off-kilter details suggest spontaneity and attitude, leaning more rebellious than cute while still reading as playful and cartoonish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold massing and irregular, carved-looking details, prioritizing personality and movement over smooth typographic neutrality. Its faceted construction reads like hand-cut lettering translated into a consistent font system for attention-grabbing display use.
The distinctive corner cuts and occasional protruding wedges make certain letters highly characterful, especially in all-caps settings. Numerals share the same blocky, cut-out construction, helping headlines and badges keep a consistent, punchy voice.
