A compact, heavy display sans with irregular, hand-cut-looking contours and angular terminals. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, but edges show deliberate wobble, nicks, and uneven joints that create a cut-paper or carved-stencil impression without strict stencil bridges. Counters are small and sometimes skewed, producing a punchy, high-ink silhouette; curves are simplified into faceted shapes, especially in C/G/O and the bowls of P/R. Widths and sidebearings vary noticeably between letters, giving the alphabet a lively, inconsistent rhythm while remaining generally upright and legible.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, album or gig graphics, packaging accents, and event flyers. It can work for brief brand marks or section headers where a gritty handmade texture is desired, but the tight counters and irregular rhythm make it less ideal for small sizes or long-form reading.
The font conveys a rough, mischievous energy—more DIY than polished—suggesting zines, punk flyers, and handmade signage. Its jagged edges and chunky mass read as bold and assertive, while the uneven geometry adds humor and a slightly chaotic, cartoonish attitude.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-cut lettering with a bold, compact footprint, prioritizing impact and personality over typographic uniformity. Its variable letter widths and intentionally rough edges suggest a display face meant to feel handcrafted, energetic, and slightly rebellious.
The lowercase shares the same chunky, faceted construction as the uppercase, with simple single-storey forms and stout joins. Numerals are equally heavy and irregular, with tight interiors that reinforce the rugged, cut-out look; overall texture becomes dense in longer text and benefits from generous spacing and larger sizes.
