A compact, heavy sans with irregular, faceted contours that feel cut or chipped rather than mathematically smooth. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with angular transitions and occasional wedge-like terminals that create a slightly jagged silhouette. Counters are small and often polygonal, and round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as softened octagons. Spacing and letterfit look intentionally uneven, producing a lively rhythm in text while maintaining clear, simple constructions.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, stickers, titles, and playful branding. The heavy mass and textured edges hold up well at larger sizes where the faceting becomes a key visual feature; in smaller text it will read more as a dense, energetic sans with a rough-cut personality.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, blending a handmade craft feel with a bold, poster-ready presence. Its chipped, cut-paper texture suggests playful imperfection—more fun and characterful than neutral or corporate. In longer lines it reads like a friendly display voice with a slightly wild edge.
This font appears designed to offer a bold sans alternative with deliberate irregularity—capturing the look of hand-cut lettering or carved shapes while keeping straightforward, legible letterforms. The goal seems to be strong presence and approachability, prioritizing character and rhythm over strict geometric consistency.
Distinctive identifying shapes include an octagonal O, a Q with a small angled tail, and numerals with sharp corners and chunky proportions. The lowercase has a sturdy, simplified structure (single-storey forms where applicable) and the punctuation/dots appear round and heavy, reinforcing the cartoon-like density.
