A heavy, geometric sans with chunky strokes and sharp, angular corners. The letterforms are intentionally irregular, with uneven baselines and cap heights, asymmetrical counters, and slightly skewed verticals that create a cut-paper or hand-carved feel. Shapes tend toward squarish constructions (notably in rounded characters), with frequent wedge-like terminals, notches, and abrupt joins that add a jagged rhythm. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing an energetic, improvised texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and punchy brand marks. It can work well for packaging or labels that want a handmade, playful edge, and for comic or game-adjacent titling where character outweighs neutrality.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, reading as a lively, slightly chaotic display face. Its rough-hewn geometry suggests a DIY sensibility—more expressive than refined—making it feel bold, attention-seeking, and a bit rebellious.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum personality through bold massing and deliberately imperfect geometry. By embracing uneven widths, jagged terminals, and squarish counters, it prioritizes a distinctive, handcrafted display voice over typographic restraint.
In text, the strong silhouette and angular details remain prominent, but the irregularities and dense forms can accumulate into a busy texture at smaller sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same blocky, cutout logic, keeping the set visually cohesive.
