A chunky, heavy sans with broadly geometric construction and intentionally uneven, hand-cut edges. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with slightly softened corners and occasional faceted cuts that create a chiseled silhouette rather than a perfectly mechanical outline. Counters are compact and rounded, apertures tend to be tight, and terminals are predominantly blunt. The overall rhythm reads as sturdy and compact, with subtle width differences across letters and numerals that add a handmade, poster-like texture.
Best suited to display settings where impact and personality matter: headlines, posters, packaging, and bold logo wordmarks. It can also work for short callouts and labels where a rugged, playful texture is desirable, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a bold, playful toughness—part comic sign lettering, part vintage display. Its irregular contours and dense shapes feel energetic and approachable while still reading as assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a deliberately imperfect, handcrafted edge—favoring character and presence over strict neutrality. Its simplified, stout shapes and faceted contours suggest a display font meant to feel fun, durable, and instantly readable in bold applications.
Round forms like O, Q, and 0 appear slightly squarish and faceted, reinforcing the cut-paper or carved look. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy forms with single-story a and g and short, blocky ascenders, keeping the tone consistently informal. Numerals follow the same chunky, slightly irregular logic, pairing well with the letters in large sizes.
