A heavy, irregular sans with chunky, faceted contours that feel hand-cut rather than mathematically smooth. Strokes keep an overall uniform thickness but show subtle wobble and uneven joins, producing a lively texture across words. Many terminals and corners are chiseled into small angles, and counters tend to be compact and slightly off-round, emphasizing a dense, punchy silhouette. The spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving lines of text an energetic, uneven rhythm while remaining clearly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, packaging callouts, and merch graphics where texture and personality are assets. It also works well for playful branding, children’s or humor-forward titles, and large on-screen headings; for long-form reading, the irregular rhythm is more effective as an accent than a body text solution.
The letterforms project a mischievous, low-polish confidence—more zine and poster than corporate signage. Its jagged, cut-paper edges read as humorous and slightly chaotic, making the tone feel bold, informal, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a hand-made, cutout aesthetic—prioritizing character, texture, and immediacy over strict geometric consistency. Its construction supports expressive display typography that feels crafted and spontaneous while staying readable.
The all-caps forms are especially blocky and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps the same cut-out logic with simplified details. Numerals follow the same faceted construction and hold up as strong, graphic shapes, reinforcing a consistent headline-oriented personality.
