A chunky, all-caps-friendly display face with irregular, hand-cut geometry and chiseled corners. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear in feel, with squared terminals that often skew or notch, creating a lively, uneven rhythm across words. Counters are small and sometimes pinched or off-center, and round letters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) become faceted, polygonal forms rather than true curves. The lowercase follows the same blocky construction with simplified shapes and a sturdy, poster-like presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, game or entertainment graphics, and playful packaging. It performs well when set large, where the angular cuts and faceted counters become a distinctive texture, and can add character to logos or title treatments that want a handmade, humorous edge.
The overall tone is playful and slightly chaotic, like cut-paper lettering or a cartoon title card. Its odd angles and wobbling widths give it a mischievous, DIY energy that reads as intentionally imperfect and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended as a bold novelty display with a deliberately irregular, cut-out construction. By replacing smooth curves with faceted shapes and introducing uneven widths and notches, it aims to create a quirky, energetic voice that stands out immediately in titles and branding.
Spacing and sidebearings appear intentionally inconsistent, which amplifies the handmade effect but can make longer passages feel busy. Numerals are bold and stylized, matching the faceted, carved look of the capitals; punctuation in the sample text reads clearly at display sizes.
