A compact, tall sans with chunky, cut-paper geometry and subtly irregular contours. Strokes stay consistently heavy, with straight-sided verticals and sharply angled joins, while bowls and counters are faceted rather than truly round. Letterforms show slight wobble and variable internal shapes, creating a handmade rhythm; punctuation and numerals follow the same blocky, carved-in silhouette with small, squared apertures.
Best suited for posters, headlines, packaging, and short editorial callouts where a bold, characterful voice is desired. It can work well for signage-inspired designs and playful branding, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes to keep counters open.
The overall tone is lively and slightly mischievous, evoking signage, comic display lettering, and mid-century novelty type. Its jagged edges and uneven rhythm read as informal and energetic rather than clinical, giving headlines a crafted, attention-grabbing personality.
The design appears intended as a display sans that prioritizes personality over neutrality, using hand-cut angles, faceted curves, and slightly inconsistent shapes to create a distinctive, crafted look. It’s built to deliver impact quickly and convey an informal, retro-leaning attitude.
The condensed proportions and dense strokes create strong texture in lines of text, with distinctive, angular counters in letters like B, P, R, and a. The rhythm is intentionally uneven across glyphs, which adds character but can introduce visual noise at small sizes.
