Author's note

Paper Cuts by Daniel Poeira is a free cut-paper comic display font with the look of letters snipped from rough black shapes and tilted into place by hand. The uneven angles, chunky silhouettes, and slightly wobbly rhythm give it a playful collage feel that is more crafty than clean.

It fits poster titles, zine covers, classroom graphics, party invitations, and packaging that wants a handmade nudge rather than a polished finish. As a free font, it makes most sense in short headlines, title cards, and logo-style words, where those jagged paper-cut edges and offbeat spacing can do the talking.
