A chunky, all-caps-forward sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry and strongly faceted contours. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with abrupt angle changes, clipped corners, and uneven internal counters that create a lively, slightly warped rhythm. Curves are treated as polygonal arcs, and terminals often look chopped rather than rounded, producing a compact, punchy texture in text. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing an informal, cut-paper silhouette.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and bold packaging where a quirky, handcrafted voice is desired. It also works well for short labels, stickers, or playful branding moments that benefit from an intentionally rough, cutout look.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a DIY, collage-like personality. Its jittery outlines and bold presence evoke retro cartoon titling and playful poster lettering rather than sober, utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to capture a bold, handcrafted cut-paper aesthetic within a sans framework, prioritizing character and immediacy over neutrality. Its angular simplification and controlled irregularity suggest a typeface made for attention-grabbing display use and expressive, informal communication.
In running text, the dense weight and angular apertures make the line feel dark and animated, with a noticeable “bounce” from letter to letter. Numerals share the same faceted construction and read best when given room, as the heavy shapes can visually crowd at smaller sizes or tight tracking.
