A compact, blocky sans with angular construction and subtly irregular outlines. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with sharp corners and occasional wedge-like terminals that create a cut-paper, hand-built feel. Counters tend to be squarish and tight, and many forms show slight asymmetry and uneven verticals that add texture without sacrificing overall clarity. The rhythm is lively and slightly jittered, with a narrow footprint and a mix of straight stems, hard diagonals, and simplified bowls that keep the silhouette crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where its angular texture can be a feature. It can also work for titles in games, event promotions, or album artwork, particularly when you want a handmade, graphic presence rather than a neutral sans.
The overall tone is quirky and energetic, blending a playful DIY attitude with a hint of retro arcade or zine aesthetics. Its deliberate imperfections and angular geometry give it an expressive, slightly rebellious voice that feels more crafted than mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong display voice with a handcrafted, cutout-like geometry—prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and rhythmic texture over strict uniformity. It aims for characterful readability in large sizes while keeping forms simple and bold.
Capitals read especially strong due to their compact proportions and squared internal spaces, while the lowercase maintains a similarly constructed, modular feel. Numerals are bold and geometric, matching the font’s squared counter shapes and brisk, stenciled-like rhythm.
