A heavy, angular display sans with chunky, faceted letterforms and an intentionally uneven silhouette. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with sharp corners, clipped terminals, and occasional wedge-like cut-ins that create a carved, cut-paper feel. Curves are largely flattened into polygons, counters are small and irregular, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, bouncy rhythm in text. Numerals and lowercase share the same rugged geometry, with compact shapes and tight internal spaces that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, attention-grabbing headlines, packaging, stickers, and event flyers where a bold, handmade look is an advantage. It can work well for short bursts of text—titles, logos, and callouts—especially in playful, spooky, or punk-leaning branding. For body copy, it benefits from generous sizing and comfortable line spacing to keep the dense forms from crowding.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, combining a rough, handmade edge with a cartoonish boldness. Its jagged facets and wobbly spacing evoke DIY punk flyers, playful spooky themes, and exuberant kids’ or party-oriented graphics rather than refined editorial typography.
This design appears intended to deliver a loud, characterful sans that feels hand-cut and deliberately imperfect. The faceted construction and varied widths prioritize personality and impact over typographic neutrality, aiming for an expressive, graphic voice that stands out immediately.
In the sample text, the strong black mass and small counters make long passages feel dense, while the irregular widths and angles add character and motion. The distinctive silhouette of each letter helps with short phrases and headlines, though closely set lines can look visually busy due to the aggressive corners and compact apertures.
