A heavy, block-built sans with irregular geometry and a deliberately handmade feel. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with angular joins, flattened corners, and subtly uneven edges that make letters look cut from paper or carved from blocks. Counters tend to be small and boxy, and many forms show slight wobble in verticals and tops, creating a lively rhythm rather than strict alignment. Lowercase shapes are compact with straightforward construction and minimal curvature, while figures follow the same chunky, squarish logic for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact uses such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, logos/wordmarks, and playful branding systems. It can also work for game UI titles, stickers, or social graphics where a bold, crafted look is desired. For longer passages, larger sizes and relaxed spacing will help maintain legibility.
The overall tone is bold and humorous, with a quirky, slightly off-kilter energy. Its cutout-like imperfections add personality and approachability, lending a casual, crafted voice that feels more playful than corporate. The dense black presence makes it attention-grabbing and a bit theatrical, suitable for expressive headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, handmade block aesthetic. By combining simple sans structures with irregular, cutout-like shaping and compact counters, it prioritizes personality and display presence over neutral text regularity.
In text settings the font produces a dark, jagged silhouette with noticeable shape variety from letter to letter, which helps character but can reduce clarity at small sizes. The tight counters and strong weight suggest it will be most effective when given breathing room via generous tracking and leading.
