A heavy, compact sans with an intentionally irregular, cut-paper construction. Strokes are built from chunky, angular slabs with abrupt terminals, frequent notches, and subtly tilted sides that create a jittery vertical rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, sometimes reduced to small cutouts, while curves are largely avoided in favor of faceted corners. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, uneven texture in text while staying consistently bold and high-impact.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing display use such as posters, event flyers, title cards, and bold branding moments. It can also work for packaging or labels where a rough, handmade attitude is desired, especially when given generous tracking and line spacing.
The face reads as mischievous and off-kilter, like a poster headline made from hand-cut shapes. Its sharp angles and uneven silhouettes add a slightly menacing, comic energy that feels at home in playful horror, punk, or zany display contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect, crafted look—combining bold, condensed proportions with irregular angles and carved-in details to create a distinctive, energetic voice.
Distinctive silhouettes and compressed internal space make it most effective at larger sizes, where the small counters and cut-in details remain clear. The variable widths and jagged edges create strong personality but can feel busy when tightly set or used in long passages.
