A heavy, block-built sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are largely monolinear, with chunky rectangular counters and frequent angled shears that create notched corners and wedge-like cuts. The silhouettes feel slightly warped from glyph to glyph, producing a bouncy rhythm and uneven verticals, while still maintaining clear, compact inner shapes and strong horizontal mass. Numerals and lowercase follow the same chiseled, cut-paper construction, with a sturdy baseline presence and a deliberately roughened consistency.
Best suited to display settings where strong impact and character are priorities: posters, headlines, storefront or event graphics, playful branding, and packaging. It can work well in short bursts (titles, badges, labels), while longer passages are more effective when given generous size and spacing.
The font reads loud and mischievous, like a cutout display face made for attention and personality rather than neutrality. Its uneven angles and chunky weight give it a humorous, rowdy tone that can feel game-like, DIY, and poster-driven.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut, stencil-like block style—prioritizing bold presence and an intentionally irregular rhythm. Its exaggerated massing and quirky cuts suggest a focus on energetic display typography that feels crafted and informal rather than engineered.
Tight apertures and blocky counters keep forms bold at a distance, but the many angled nicks and asymmetries add visual noise that can reduce clarity at small sizes. The overall texture becomes a dense, patterned black when set in longer lines, emphasizing impact over smooth readability.
