A heavy, compact sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with subtle tapering and frequent angled terminals that create a chiseled, faceted look. Counters are relatively small and shapes lean toward narrow, vertical proportions, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for a lively rhythm. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with short ascenders/descenders, and the numerals match the same chunky, slightly uneven construction for consistent texture in display settings.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a distinctive, hand-crafted voice is desired. It can work well in short bursts—titles, labels, and signage—where the compact forms and strong weight create immediate impact.
The overall tone is playful and quirky, evoking hand-made signage, cut-paper lettering, and mid-century novelty display. Its uneven edges and compact mass read as friendly and energetic rather than formal, with a comedic, poster-like punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a crafted, irregular personality—combining simple sans structures with hand-cut angles to produce a novelty display texture that feels energetic and approachable.
Spacing and fit feel tight and compact, producing a dark, emphatic typographic color. The angular joins and occasional wedge-like cuts add snap and motion, helping the face hold its character even in short headlines or single-word marks.
