A heavy, display-oriented sans with broad proportions and a deliberately uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast with chiseled-looking terminals and subtly wobbly edges, giving each letter a slightly different stance and width. Counters are large and open, with simple, geometric inner shapes; joins and curves feel compressed and sculpted rather than mechanically smooth. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with a lively rhythm created by small tilts, varied verticals, and irregular curves across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, headlines, stickers, packaging, and playful branding where strong presence and character are desired. It also works well for kids-oriented materials, comic-style titling, and event graphics, but is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to its dense weight and expressive irregularity.
The font reads as playful and quirky, with a bold, cartoonish confidence. Its cut-paper irregularity and bouncy spacing suggest a friendly, informal voice suited to humor and energetic messaging rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide an assertive, high-impact display sans with a handcrafted, cutout feel. Its contrasting strokes and intentionally irregular widths prioritize personality and visual rhythm, helping text feel lively and informal while remaining clearly lettered.
Uppercase forms are compact and blocky, while lowercase maintains the same chunky construction with clear, simple bowls and sturdy stems. Numerals follow the same sculpted, uneven logic, keeping a consistent, attention-grabbing color in lines of text.
