A compact, heavy sans with a distinctly hand-cut, irregular construction. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with slightly uneven edges, angled terminals, and occasional wedge-like cuts that create a chiseled silhouette. Bowls and counters are small and somewhat boxy, producing a dense texture, while curves are simplified into faceted arcs rather than smooth rounds. Proportions vary by letter, adding a lively rhythm, and the figures follow the same chunky, slightly skewed logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where its chunky, cut-paper character can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding moments, labels, and merch-style applications, but is less ideal for long-form reading due to its dense counters and textured rhythm.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a cartoony, handmade feel. Its deliberate irregularities read as friendly and mischievous rather than technical, suggesting a fun, approachable voice that stands out quickly.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handmade sans voice that feels crafted and slightly roughened, prioritizing personality and instant recognition over strict geometric regularity. Its angular cuts and compact forms suggest a display-oriented alphabet designed to remain punchy and legible in attention-grabbing contexts.
Uppercase forms feel more poster-like and blocky, while lowercase retains the same rugged edge treatment, keeping texture consistent across mixed-case settings. The sample text shows strong word-shape presence at display sizes, with tight internal spaces that can darken in longer passages.
