A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans with deliberately irregular, chiseled contours. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline in feel, but the outlines wobble with hand-cut angles and occasional nicks that create a faceted silhouette. Counters are compact and often slightly off-center, while joins and terminals tend toward blunt, squared endings rather than smooth curves. Overall spacing and rhythm feel lively and uneven in an intentional way, producing a strong texture in words and headlines.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, cover art, packaging, event graphics, and bold brand moments where texture and personality are desired. It can also work for game UI labels or short attention-grabbing copy, but the intentionally uneven shapes make it less appropriate for long-form text.
The font projects a humorous, slightly mischievous energy, like cut-paper lettering or a cartoon title card. Its rough-hewn geometry and bouncy alignment give it an informal, crafty tone that reads as retro and playful rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate handmade, cut-out display lettering while maintaining a clear sans structure. Its exaggerated weight and angular irregularities prioritize character and impact, aiming for an attention-getting, playful voice in large sizes.
Uppercase forms are wide and blocky with simplified interiors, while lowercase letters retain the same carved, chunky construction and remain highly stylized. Numerals match the angular, irregular theme and hold up well at display sizes, where the edge detail becomes part of the personality.
