A heavy, compact sans with chunky strokes and a deliberately irregular, hand-cut geometry. Forms are built from blunt verticals and diagonally clipped corners, creating a faceted silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are small and often polygonal, while terminals end in sharp, wedge-like cuts that vary slightly from glyph to glyph. Spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven, giving lines a lively, jittery rhythm while maintaining clear, upright letter construction.
Best suited to short display settings where impact and personality are the priority—posters, headlines, event promotion, packaging, and bold branding moments. It can also work for labels or merch graphics where a handmade, punchy tone is desirable; for longer passages, its dense texture and irregular rhythm are likely to feel loud.
The font reads as bold and mischievous, with a cut-paper or carved-letter feel that adds energy and a touch of chaos. Its angular nicks and rough-hewn edges evoke DIY signage and playful display typography rather than polished corporate minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a deliberately imperfect, hand-crafted voice. By using angular cuts, compact proportions, and uneven detailing, it aims to stand out in attention-grabbing display contexts while keeping the letterforms straightforward and legible at larger sizes.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same blocky, faceted logic, with the lowercase staying tall and sturdy rather than delicate. Numerals follow the same clipped, poster-like construction, keeping a consistent dark color and strong presence across mixed text.
