A heavy, blocky sans with angular, faceted contours that read like cut paper or chiseled shapes. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many terminals end in blunt, slightly skewed planes rather than clean horizontals/verticals. The outlines show deliberate irregularity—subtle tilts, wobbly baselines, and non-uniform joins—creating a lively rhythm across words. Counters tend to be compact and geometric, and the overall construction leans on polygonal curves, giving letters like C, G, O, and S a multi-sided, carved look.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as poster headlines, cover titles, packaging callouts, and playful branding moments where texture and attitude are desirable. It can also work for comic-style captions or event promotions, but the busy, irregular rhythm makes it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is loud, mischievous, and DIY, like handmade signage or a comic-poster headline. Its uneven geometry adds energy and humor, making text feel animated and slightly unruly rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-first display voice with a handcrafted, cutout aesthetic. Its faceted curves and intentionally imperfect alignment prioritize personality and punch over neutrality and typographic restraint.
Spacing appears intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing the handmade feel; the sample text shows a bouncy texture with noticeable variations in sidebearings and letter fit. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with strong silhouettes suited to attention-grabbing settings.
