A chunky, hand-drawn sans with irregular contours and slightly faceted edges that create a cut-paper or brush-ink silhouette. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline in feel, with subtle wobble and uneven terminals that keep the texture lively. Proportions vary by glyph, with noticeably inconsistent widths and occasional asymmetry, giving the alphabet a loose, informal rhythm. Counters are compact and sometimes angular, and round forms (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) appear slightly squashed and uneven rather than geometric.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, headlines, packaging accents, event flyers, and playful editorial callouts where a handmade texture is desirable. It can also work for comics or lighthearted branding, but is less ideal for dense body text or small UI sizes due to its irregular edges and variable spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, reading as casual, homemade, and a bit punk or spooky depending on context. Its rough edges and uneven rhythm suggest humor and personality over polish, making it feel approachable and expressive.
The design appears intended to emulate a handcrafted, inked or cut-out lettering style while keeping the structure broadly sans-like. Its goal is to inject personality and texture into short phrases and titles, prioritizing expressive silhouette and rhythm over strict typographic regularity.
Legibility holds up best at medium-to-large sizes where the textured outlines and uneven spacing read as intentional character rather than noise. The numerals share the same rugged, hand-cut feel, and the set maintains a consistent weight and texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
