A heavy, block-based sans with broad proportions and a distinctly irregular, hand-cut contour. Strokes are monolinear in feel, but the outlines show purposeful wobble, asymmetric corners, and occasional faceted cuts that make counters and joins feel carved rather than drawn. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and simplified forms, while the uppercase reads as sturdy slabs of black with relatively tight apertures. Numerals match the same chunky geometry, keeping an overall dense color and strong silhouette in words and headlines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, short slogans, and logo wordmarks where the bold, irregular silhouettes can carry the design. It can also work for playful packaging and event promotion materials, especially when paired with simpler supporting text for readability.
The font projects a playful, rough-edged confidence—like cut paper, stencil-like shapes, or hand-lettered display type made for impact. Its uneven edges and chunky rhythm add an energetic, slightly mischievous tone that feels informal and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes personality and texture over neutrality, using intentionally uneven, faceted outlines to evoke a handmade, cutout aesthetic while remaining broadly legible in short runs.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, creating a lively, uneven rhythm in text lines. The counters (especially in rounded letters) are small relative to the heavy exterior shapes, which boosts punch at large sizes but can reduce clarity when set tightly or too small.
