Keywords: headlines, posters, packaging, comics, game ui, playful, handmade, quirky, cartoon, rowdy, attention, personality, informality, blocky, irregular, chunky, angular, soft-cornered.
A heavy, block-built sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry and subtly uneven rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick with simplified construction, while corners are often clipped or chamfered, producing faceted contours rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be compact and sometimes asymmetric, and the overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving lines a lively, slightly jostled texture. Numerals follow the same chunky, cutout logic, prioritizing silhouette clarity over strict typographic regularity.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where its bold silhouettes can do the work—posters, display headlines, packaging callouts, entertainment branding, and playful interface titles. It can also add character to signage or event graphics, but the irregular shapes may feel busy in long paragraphs or at very small sizes.
The font reads as mischievous and energetic, with a DIY cut-paper or linocut feel that leans toward comic and game-like expression. Its uneven edges and buoyant rhythm create an informal, attention-grabbing voice that feels more playful than neutral.
Likely designed as a display sans that injects personality through uneven, hand-made construction—combining strong visual weight with quirky, faceted forms for immediate recognition and a fun, informal tone.
Uppercase shapes are sturdy and poster-like, while the lowercase keeps the same mass and angularity, maintaining a unified color across mixed-case settings. The roughened geometry is controlled rather than distressed, suggesting intentional stylization rather than wear or texture.
