A heavy, blocky sans with uneven, hand-cut contours and angular corners. Strokes are broadly consistent in thickness, but edges wobble slightly and terminals often look chopped or faceted, giving each letter a carved-paper or stamped feel. Counters are compact and sometimes polygonal, and the overall proportions skew broad with generous internal mass and a tall lowercase presence. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an intentionally irregular rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, splashy headlines, product packaging, and event flyers where a bold, handmade voice is desirable. It can also work for kids-oriented graphics or playful branding, especially when set large so the rough contours and chunky counters stay clear.
The font reads mischievous and informal, with a DIY, cutout-like energy that feels more comic and crafty than corporate. Its roughened geometry suggests a playful “monster” or Halloween-adjacent tone without relying on overt decorative flourishes, keeping the personality in the silhouette and texture.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut or roughly stenciled sans—keeping a simple, sans foundation while introducing deliberate irregularities to add personality and a tactile, crafted texture.
The strongest character comes from the inconsistent edge treatment and slightly lopsided shapes, which create a lively texture at display sizes. In longer settings the dense blackness and irregular widths make the line feel animated and bouncy rather than calm and even.
