A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle roots and deliberately uneven contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with subtly jagged edges and small notches that create a hand-cut, slightly distressed silhouette. Counters are compact and often angular-rounded, giving letters a tight, punchy presence. Overall spacing and shapes feel intentionally inconsistent in small ways, adding a lively rhythm while keeping the basic forms simple and upright.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and event or festival flyers where personality matters more than refinement. It can also work for playful branding and signage, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rough outline character is clearly visible.
The font reads as bold, humorous, and a bit scrappy—more craft and cut-paper than corporate polish. Its irregular edges and chunky proportions give it a friendly, informal tone with a hint of retro poster energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a handcrafted, imperfect edge—capturing the feel of cut-out lettering or stamped display type while retaining straightforward sans letter structures.
The texture is built into the outlines rather than relying on shading, so the face keeps strong impact in solid color. The numerals match the letters’ chunky, slightly wobbly construction and are designed for display rather than precision-heavy settings.
