A heavy, compact display face with irregular, hand-cut geometry and blunted terminals. Strokes are broadly uniform but show deliberate wobble and small angle shifts that create a carved, faceted look rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be tight and somewhat angular, with rounded forms (O, C, G) appearing slightly squarish and uneven. Overall spacing and character widths vary noticeably, reinforcing an organic rhythm and a handmade, cut-paper silhouette.
Best used for posters, headlines, short branding lines, and packaging where a bold handmade voice is desired. It performs well in large-size applications such as logos, labels, event graphics, and playful merchandise, where its irregular detailing can be appreciated.
The font conveys a bold, mischievous energy—more playful than formal—evoking craft signage, comic-adjacent display lettering, and retro novelty printing. Its uneven edges and chunky massing give it a friendly, slightly rebellious tone suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed to emulate a hand-cut or carved display style with intentional irregularities, prioritizing personality and visual punch over neutral readability. The goal appears to be a distinctive, approachable black shape that feels crafted and slightly eccentric.
Distinctive notches and small kinks appear throughout curves and joins, which adds texture at large sizes but can reduce clarity in dense text. Numerals follow the same chunky, irregular logic, with strong silhouettes designed for impact rather than precision.
