A heavy, block-built sans with subtly irregular outlines and a hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with crisp corners, slightly pinched joins, and small notches that create a carved, faceted impression rather than smooth geometry. Counters tend to be compact and squarish, terminals are blunt, and the overall rhythm mixes tight interior spaces with uneven edge contours for a deliberately roughened texture.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold identity marks where its textured silhouette can be appreciated. It can work for short, attention-grabbing text and punchy branding elements, especially when a rough, handcrafted tone is desired.
The font reads as bold and mischievous, with a DIY, cut-paper/woodcut energy. Its uneven edges and chunky forms evoke a retro display attitude—confident, loud, and a little unruly—suited to designs that want personality over polish.
The design intention appears to be a robust display sans that mimics cut or carved lettering, trading precision for expressive edge detail. It aims to deliver strong impact and a tactile, handmade voice while remaining broadly legible at large sizes.
Capital forms appear more uniform and poster-like, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and asymmetry, increasing the handmade character in running text. Numerals follow the same chunky, faceted construction, producing strong silhouettes that hold up in short bursts.
