A heavy, blocky sans with softly faceted contours and subtly irregular edges that create a cut-out, handmade feel. Strokes stay broadly consistent, but the outlines wobble and corners round off into chiseled planes rather than crisp geometry, giving each glyph a slightly unique silhouette. Counters are compact and often angular, terminals are blunt, and spacing feels lively due to uneven sidebearings and small shape idiosyncrasies. Uppercase forms read sturdy and compact, while the lowercase maintains a tall, prominent x-height with simple, single-storey constructions and minimal detailing.
Works well for posters, headlines, and short punchy copy where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It suits packaging, labels, stickers, and playful branding—especially for food, crafts, toys, or entertainment—where the handmade texture can add warmth and personality. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help keep the dense forms readable.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, leaning toward playful, informal display typography. Its rough-hewn finish and chunky silhouettes suggest a casual, crafty energy that can feel retro and comic-adjacent without becoming overly decorative. The rhythm is bouncy and expressive, making text feel animated and personable.
The design appears intended as an expressive display sans that prioritizes personality and texture over strict typographic neutrality. Its faceted, imperfect outlines and compact counters aim to deliver high visual impact and a handcrafted, cut-paper look in both uppercase and lowercase settings.
The digit set follows the same carved, irregular logic, with simplified shapes and tight interior spaces that emphasize mass over finesse. In continuous text, the strong texture from uneven outlines becomes a defining feature, so it reads best where character and impact matter more than pristine uniformity.
