A heavy, compact sans with blocky silhouettes and subtly uneven construction. Many letters feature internal cutouts and notches that read like stencil breaks or carved-in counters, creating a high-ink, low-air texture across words. Curves are rounded but not perfectly geometric, and joins often show abrupt angles or scooped bites that add a hand-cut rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and upright with simple, single-storey forms and thick terminals; figures are similarly bold, with distinctive openings and occasional interior slits that keep dense shapes from closing up.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where a bold, characterful texture is desired. It can work effectively for packaging, entertainment/event branding, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a handcrafted, cutout look. For longer text, use larger sizes and looser spacing to preserve the interior cut details.
The overall tone is mischievous and nostalgic, with a handmade, cut-paper energy. Its chunky presence feels friendly and attention-grabbing rather than formal, giving text a poster-like immediacy and a slightly comic, eccentric personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, attention-first sans with a distinctive cutout/stencil twist, adding handmade personality while keeping letterforms broadly familiar. The notches and breaks introduce visual rhythm and prevent large counters and bowls from becoming overly solid at display scale.
Because the design relies on interior voids and irregular notches for character, it holds up best at display sizes where those details remain legible. In tighter settings the dense black mass can dominate, so generous tracking and line spacing help the texture breathe.
