A chunky, heavy sans with irregular, hand-cut contours and visibly rough edges. Strokes stay broadly consistent in weight but the outlines wobble and notch, creating a textured silhouette rather than smooth curves. Bowls and counters are compact and slightly uneven, and terminals look blunt and torn rather than crisply finished. Proportions feel broad with sturdy verticals, giving the letters a strong, poster-friendly presence even as the baseline and sidebearings vary subtly for a handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and personality are desirable—posters, headlines, album/cover art, and expressive packaging. It can also work for playful branding accents or labels, but the rough edges and compact counters suggest avoiding long body text or very small sizes where the texture may fill in visually.
The overall tone is gritty and informal, like stamped or carved lettering used for DIY graphics. Its rough texture reads energetic and mischievous, leaning toward a comic, zine, or Halloween-adjacent feel rather than polished corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to capture a handcrafted, distressed look while keeping familiar sans letter skeletons for quick recognition. It prioritizes bold impact and tactile texture, evoking cut-paper, stamped ink, or carved signage aesthetics.
The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with noticeable variation from glyph to glyph that reinforces an analog, imperfect construction. The lowercase is friendly and rounded in general structure, but the ragged perimeter and tight counters add bite, especially in smaller apertures.
