A heavy, chunky sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with softened corners, subtly wavy edges, and occasional notched joins that create a carved or stamped look. Counters are compact and often slightly asymmetrical, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy rather than mechanically uniform. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms and short extenders, while capitals read as bold blocks with gently uneven curves and terminals.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and playful brand marks where texture and personality are desired. It can work for brief blurbs or captions when set large, but it is most effective as a display face rather than for dense reading.
The font conveys a playful, homemade energy—more crafty and characterful than neutral. Its roughened contours and compact shapes suggest a tactile, analog process, giving text a friendly, informal tone with a hint of retro poster charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong display presence with an intentionally imperfect, handmade finish. Its simplified forms and monolinear weight prioritize impact and charm over precision, creating a distinctive stamped or cut-paper aesthetic.
In longer text the dark color is strong and consistent, but the irregular edges and tight apertures can start to close up at small sizes; it benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing. Numerals match the same chunky, slightly uneven construction, keeping a cohesive, poster-like texture.
