A chunky, geometric sans with rounded bowls and a heavy, even stroke that stays largely monoline. Letterforms are intentionally irregular: many glyphs feature small notches, gouges, and cut-in wedges along curves and terminals, giving the silhouette a distressed-but-controlled edge. Counters are generous and mostly circular, and the overall proportions run broad, with compact apertures and sturdy stems that keep the texture dense at display sizes. The design maintains consistent weight while varying details from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven, animated rhythm across words.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, game UI headings, packaging callouts, stickers, and social graphics. It can also work for playful branding marks and themed displays where a quirky, hand-cut texture is desirable, while longer body copy may feel busy due to the frequent notches and dense weight.
The cutout nicks and bouncy shapes give the face a playful, slightly mischievous tone, like lettering made for games, comedy, or oddball storytelling. It reads as intentionally off-kilter rather than rough, projecting a humorous, crafty personality with a touch of spooky or comic-book energy.
The design appears aimed at creating a bold display voice that feels carved, nibbled, or cut from solid shapes, balancing legibility with deliberate eccentricity. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded construction suggest a geometric base that’s been stylized to add character and visual comedy.
In the sample text, the repeated interior bite-marks become a strong texture, so spacing and shapes feel more decorative than neutral. The numerals share the same rounded, sculpted feel, with the 2 and 3 showing prominent curved forms and the 8 leaning toward a compact, stacked loop shape.
