A heavy, blocky sans with deliberately irregular, hand-cut contours and a slightly wobbly baseline rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with faceted corners and chiseled-looking joins that create angular bowls and counters. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height, short-to-moderate ascenders, and simplified forms; the dots and terminals read as blunt, inked shapes rather than precise geometric endings. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, adding a poster-like, cutout consistency across text and numerals.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and playful branding where texture and personality are desirable. It can also work for comic-style titles and social graphics, but the irregular outlines and dense weight make it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is playful and crafty, like a stamped or hand-carved headline style. Its rough edges and bouncy rhythm give it an informal, slightly mischievous character that feels energetic and approachable rather than technical.
The design intention appears to be a bold display sans that mimics hand-cut or stamped lettering, prioritizing character and impact over strict geometric precision. Its variable glyph widths and intentionally rough contours aim to create a lively, handmade feel in both uppercase and mixed-case settings.
Round letters like O and 0 appear more polygonal than circular, reinforcing the carved, faceted theme. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and blunt, and the numerals match the same chunky, irregular construction for a cohesive display set.
