A chunky, geometric sans with aggressively simplified forms and irregular, hand-cut-looking edges. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, and most glyphs read as monoline blocks that have been chiseled into asymmetric facets. Corners are frequently clipped or notched, counters are small and often squarish, and widths vary noticeably from letter to letter, producing a bouncy rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact with a tall x-height and simplified terminals, while figures are similarly blocky and poster-like for strong silhouette recognition.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging callouts, and playful editorial or event graphics where a bold, handmade texture is desirable. It works particularly well when set large, with some added spacing, and in contexts that welcome a quirky, cut-out aesthetic over typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is playful and rough-hewn, like cut paper, stamped foam, or a quick comic-title treatment. Its uneven geometry and purposeful crudity give it a mischievous, energetic feel that reads as informal and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately rough, handmade voice, translating simple sans structures into faceted, cut-and-paste shapes. Its irregularity and compact counters suggest it was drawn for expressive display use, prioritizing character and silhouette over smooth continuity.
The design relies heavily on silhouette and negative-space cutouts, so interior counters can fill in quickly at small sizes or in dense settings. The irregular widths and angled cuts create a lively texture that benefits from generous tracking and short, punchy lines.
