A heavy, angular sans with chunky, geometric construction and intentionally irregular contours. Strokes stay broadly consistent in thickness, but edges tilt and taper with wedge-like cuts that create a hand-shaped, slightly off-kilter rhythm. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with sharp internal corners that reinforce a carved, cut-paper feel. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with uneven silhouettes and subtle baseline/cap-height wobble that reads as deliberately rough rather than imprecise.
Best suited for display settings where personality and impact matter: posters, event graphics, album/mixtape art, packaging callouts, and punchy headlines. It can work for short branding marks or titles where an intentionally rough, handcrafted angular look is desired, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text.
The letterforms convey a mischievous, energetic tone—more zine and cartoon title card than sober utility. The jagged angles and wobbling geometry add a sense of motion and attitude, giving text a loud, graphic presence that feels humorous, rebellious, and a bit chaotic.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, characterful sans that feels hand-cut or chiseled, prioritizing expressive silhouettes and graphic punch over neutral regularity. Its irregular geometry and wedge terminals suggest an intention to evoke DIY lettering and playful distortion while staying within a broadly sans, upright framework.
In the sample text, the irregular widths and angled terminals create a lively, bouncing word shape, especially in mixed-case lines. At smaller sizes the tight counters and complex notches can begin to fill in, while at display sizes the distinctive cuts and quirky rhythm become the main attraction.
