A heavy, blocky sans with slightly irregular geometry and a hand-cut, poster-like finish. Strokes are consistently thick with low modulation, while corners are often softened or subtly chamfered, producing a rugged silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and squarish, and many joins show small notches and wedge-like cut-ins that create an ink-trap-esque texture. The lowercase has a tall presence with simple, sturdy forms, and the overall rhythm alternates between straight-sided stems and gently bulging curves for a lively, uneven color in text.
Best suited to display settings where texture and weight do the work: posters, punchy headlines, packaging callouts, merch graphics, and bold logo wordmarks. It can also serve short blocks of large text when a playful, gritty voice is desired, but the tight counters and irregular details make it less ideal for small sizes or long reading.
The font reads bold and mischievous, with a retro cartoon and DIY sign-painting energy. Its intentional roughness and chunky shapes feel friendly rather than severe, suggesting informal confidence and a slightly rebellious, comic tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a deliberately imperfect, hand-shaped construction. By combining compact counters, softened corners, and small carved-in notches, it aims to feel tactile and animated—like lettering cut from paper or stamped in ink—while staying firmly sans and highly legible at display sizes.
Uppercase forms are emphatic and condensed-looking in places due to tight interior counters, while rounded letters like O/Q/C show squarer curvature than a geometric sans. Numerals match the same cut-out construction, with sturdy, poster-ready silhouettes that prioritize impact over refinement.
