A chunky, all-caps-friendly sans with heavy, slab-like strokes and intentionally irregular geometry. Letterforms are built from broad, angular planes with skewed sides, clipped corners, and occasional wedge-like intrusions, producing a hand-cut, collage-like silhouette. Counters tend to be small and often squared or notched, and the overall rhythm feels uneven by design, with noticeable shifts in stroke edges and internal spacing from glyph to glyph. Numerals match the same rugged construction, reading as bold blocks with sharp cut-ins rather than smooth curves.
Best suited to display contexts where strong impact and personality are desired, such as posters, event graphics, bold editorial headlines, playful packaging, and logo wordmarks. It will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the notches and compact counters remain clear and contribute to the intended texture.
The font conveys a mischievous, cut-paper energy—bold, noisy, and informal. Its jagged edges and off-kilter shapes create a comic, slightly chaotic tone that feels more handmade than mechanical, leaning toward playful display rather than neutral text work.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic, handcrafted display voice using rough-hewn, angular blocks and purposeful irregularity. It prioritizes visual punch and quirky character over smooth repetition, creating a distinctive silhouette that reads quickly in short phrases and titles.
In the sample text, the dense black color and tight counters make word shapes strong at larger sizes, while the irregular outlines introduce a lively texture across a line. The lowercase maintains the same chunky construction, with simple, sturdy forms that prioritize silhouette over refinement.
