A chunky, all-caps-forward display face built from irregular, angular shapes with abrupt corners and uneven edges. Strokes behave like rough-cut slabs: counters are small and sometimes pinched, terminals often look clipped or notched, and joins create faceted silhouettes rather than smooth curves. Letterforms keep a consistent heavy presence but vary in internal geometry and sidebearings, producing a bouncy rhythm and visibly uneven texture across words. Numerals and lowercase follow the same cut-paper, chiseled logic, with simplified forms and occasional exaggerated corners that emphasize the handmade irregularity.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging, event flyers, and playful branding. It works well where an intentionally messy, cutout aesthetic is desired—especially at larger sizes where the jagged contours and notches can read clearly. For longer copy or small sizes, the tight counters and irregular rhythm can reduce readability, so pairing with a calmer text face is advisable.
The overall tone is mischievous and unruly—more goofy than polished—evoking cutout lettering, DIY signage, and cartoon title cards. Its jittery silhouettes and off-kilter spacing add an energetic, slightly spooky theatricality that reads as deliberately “wrong” in a fun way.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, humorous cutout look with strong silhouette character, prioritizing expressive irregularity over typographic neutrality. Its faceted, chiseled shapes and uneven rhythm suggest a decorative display font aimed at creating instant personality and motion in titles and branding.
Because the shapes are dense and the counters are tight, the design relies on silhouette recognition more than internal detail. The irregular widths and lumpy spacing create strong motion in lines of text, but they also make long passages feel intentionally unstable and attention-grabbing.
