A heavy, block-built sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry and subtly wavy vertical edges. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and many forms are constructed from chunky rectangular masses with notched corners and occasional slit-like cut-ins. Counters are tight and often appear as small punched shapes, giving letters a compact interior and a dense overall color. The rhythm is intentionally uneven: widths and sidebearings vary, and curves are simplified into faceted, almost chiseled silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and bold social or editorial callouts. It works well where an intentionally rough, graphic texture is desirable and where generous size and spacing can support legibility.
The font conveys a playful, off-kilter attitude with a DIY, cut-paper feel. Its exaggerated weight and imperfect edges create an energetic, slightly mischievous tone that reads as bold and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a deliberately irregular, cut-out aesthetic. By prioritizing mass, simplified geometry, and notched detailing, it aims to create a distinctive silhouette and strong visual texture for attention-grabbing typography.
In text, the dense shapes and small counters make the design feel most at home at larger sizes; the irregular widths and notches add character but can reduce clarity in long passages. Numerals and lowercase follow the same chunky construction, keeping a consistent, graphic texture across mixed-case settings.
