A heavy, compact sans with chunky strokes and a deliberately uneven silhouette. Forms are built from simple verticals and squared bowls, but edges are slightly jagged and corners often look clipped or notched, giving a cut-out, hand-shaped feel. Curves are tightened into flattened arcs, counters are small, and terminals tend to end bluntly. The overall rhythm is dense and punchy, with noticeable per-glyph irregularities that add texture while keeping a consistent, block-forward structure.
Best suited to display settings where bold texture is an asset: posters, headlines, badges, packaging, and punchy logo wordmarks. It will also work well for short promotional copy and social graphics where a loud, handcrafted feel is desired.
The tone is bold and mischievous, combining a vintage poster energy with a rough, handmade edge. Its imperfect outlines and compressed stance suggest something crafty and loud rather than polished or corporate, leaning toward fun, slightly gritty display use.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact footprint while adding character through rough, clipped contours. It aims to feel handmade and attention-grabbing, prioritizing personality and poster readability over a smooth, neutral finish.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar weight and construction, reinforcing a unified, headline-oriented voice. Numerals follow the same chunky geometry, reading clearly at larger sizes while contributing to the font’s rugged texture. The sample text shows strong impact in short phrases, with the irregular edges becoming a defining personality trait as size increases.
