A heavy, faceted sans with irregular, hand-cut contours and sharply angled terminals. Strokes are monolinear in feel, but edges wobble and pinch, creating a rough, chiseled silhouette. Letterforms lean consistently and show a lively, uneven baseline and rhythm, with slightly shifting widths and asymmetric counters. The overall texture is dense and dark, with small apertures and tight internal spaces that emphasize the blocky shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, cover art, playful branding, and packaging where texture and attitude are desired. It works well for headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments, especially when set with generous spacing or at larger sizes to preserve clarity.
The font conveys a loud, mischievous energy—somewhere between cut-paper craft and rebellious poster lettering. Its jittery angles and uneven geometry read as intentionally imperfect and expressive, giving text a casual, animated voice rather than a polished corporate tone.
The design appears intended to mimic energetic hand-made lettering with a deliberately rough, geometric cut—prioritizing personality, motion, and visual punch over neutrality or long-form readability.
In running text, the sharp corners and narrow counters create a strong pattern that can feel busy at smaller sizes, while larger sizes highlight the distinctive cutout-like shapes. Numerals match the same irregular, angular construction, keeping a consistent, bold display character across letters and figures.
