A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared silhouettes and subtly uneven, hand-cut edges. Strokes are mostly monolinear, with frequent inward scoops, notches, and wedge-like cut-ins that create stencil-ish counters and distinctive white "bites" in bowls and terminals. Curves are simplified into broad arcs and flattened bends, while joins stay chunky and geometric. Spacing and widths vary by letter, giving the alphabet a lively rhythm rather than a strictly modular texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, branding headlines, packaging, and promotional graphics where its chunky forms and carved details can be appreciated. It’s particularly effective when you want a loud, graphic wordmark or title treatment with a handmade edge.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a crafted, cut-paper or carved-sign feel. Its angular cut-ins and bouncy irregularities push it toward a playful, retro display voice rather than a neutral utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that balances geometric block forms with deliberate cut-in details to create a distinctive, handcrafted texture. The irregular rhythm and stencil-like counter carving suggest an aim toward memorable, attention-grabbing typography over strict neutrality.
Many characters feature internal cutouts that read like intentional incisions rather than optical corrections, producing strong black mass with high-impact negative shapes. The sample text shows the design holding together well at headline sizes, where the notches and counters become a key part of the personality.
