A compact, blocky sans with irregular, hand-cut contours and subtly faceted edges. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with corners that alternate between sharp and slightly softened, creating a carved or paper-cut feel. The overall construction is upright and straightforward, but small variations in stroke width, curve smoothness, and glyph-to-glyph geometry produce a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are generally tight, and several forms show angular simplification (notably in round letters and numerals), reinforcing the chunky, cutout silhouette.
Works well for posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where a bold, handcrafted tone is desired. It’s a good fit for playful packaging, kids-oriented graphics, comic-style titling, and event materials that benefit from an imperfect, cutout aesthetic.
The font reads as playful and mischievous, with a handmade roughness that suggests crafts, comics, or DIY signage rather than precision typesetting. Its uneven texture and bouncy letterfit give it an energetic, informal voice that can feel humorous or slightly spooky depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut lettering—chunky, upright shapes with deliberately uneven edges—to deliver a strong display voice with personality and texture. Its simplified, faceted curves and compact proportions prioritize impact and character over neutrality in continuous reading.
In text settings the weight and tight counters create a strong black presence, so readability is best at display sizes or with generous tracking. Numerals and round characters lean toward polygonal outlines, helping maintain a consistent, sturdy texture across mixed-case and figures.
