A chunky, irregular display sans with faceted, hand-cut contours and a lively, slightly wobbly baseline. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, but edges break into angular planes that give the shapes a carved, woodblock-like feel. Counters tend to be small and rounded-to-polygonal, with openings and terminals varying from glyph to glyph. Proportions are uneven in an intentional way, producing a bouncy rhythm across words while remaining clearly legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and playful branding where texture and personality matter more than typographic neutrality. It can work for subheads or pull quotes when set with generous spacing, but the jagged contours and tight counters make it less ideal for long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, with a DIY, vintage poster energy. Its rough-hewn geometry reads as spirited and informal rather than polished, making text feel animated and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to mimic cut or carved letterforms—like paper-cut signage or a simplified woodblock print—delivering a bold, approachable display voice with deliberate irregularity and strong silhouette recognition.
Uppercase forms lean toward sturdy, poster-like silhouettes, while lowercase keeps the same cut-paper character with distinct, sometimes asymmetric details (notably in letters like a, g, y, and s). Numerals match the same chiseled construction, with compact interiors and a slightly compressed, stamped look that helps them blend into display settings.
