A chunky, all-caps-forward sans with irregular, hand-cut outlines and a distinctly angular construction. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with faceted corners, clipped terminals, and slightly wobbly edges that keep each glyph feeling individually shaped rather than mechanically drawn. Counters are compact and often polygonal, and the overall rhythm is uneven in an intentional way, with small variations in width and stance across letters. Numerals follow the same carved, uneven geometry, maintaining the sturdy silhouette and tight internal spaces.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, title treatments, packaging callouts, and playful branding where a handcrafted voice is desirable. It can also work for emphasis text in comics, games, or event graphics, but the busy texture and tight counters are better suited to display sizes than long-form reading.
The tone is energetic and mischievous, with a DIY, cut-paper or carved-stencil feel that reads as casual and expressive rather than polished. Its roughened geometry gives it a spirited, slightly gritty personality suited to attention-grabbing, characterful typography.
Likely designed to capture a rough, hand-rendered sans look with bold presence and a deliberately imperfect, faceted geometry. The consistent heaviness and clipped corners suggest an intention to mimic cut or carved lettering while remaining readable and versatile for display typography.
In text, the irregular widths and tight counters create a lively texture, while the heavy strokes keep words strongly legible at display sizes. The uppercase set feels especially emblematic, with broad, shield-like shapes and frequent corner truncations that reinforce the hand-made aesthetic.
