A heavy, compact sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with chipped corners, faceted curves, and uneven terminals that create a cut-paper/woodblock feel. Counters tend to be small and sometimes slightly off-center, and curves often resolve into angular segments rather than smooth arcs. Spacing and character widths vary noticeably, producing a lively, slightly wobbly rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters: posters, headlines, event promos, product packaging, stickers, and playful branding. It also works well for short bursts of text—titles, callouts, or captions—where its irregular texture can be appreciated without overwhelming readability.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a DIY, handmade energy. Its rugged edges and chunky forms read as informal and attention-grabbing, leaning toward a cartoon or novelty voice rather than a clean, neutral sans.
Likely designed to mimic hand-cut lettering with a bold, graphic presence, prioritizing character and impact over strict geometric precision. The controlled inconsistency suggests an intention to feel handmade while remaining robust and legible in display use.
The font maintains consistent heaviness across letters and numerals, helping it hold together in headlines despite the irregular outlines. At smaller sizes the tight counters and rough internal shapes may reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the texture becomes a defining feature.
