A compact sans with heavy strokes and subtly irregular, hand-shaped contours. Letterforms are built from broad, mostly straight segments with angled terminals and occasional notch-like cuts that create a chiseled, cut-paper look. Curves are simplified into faceted arcs, and stroke joins can feel slightly uneven, giving the set a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric regularity. Counters are generally tight and rectangular-to-oval in feeling, and the overall spacing reads dense and punchy in text.
Best suited to short display settings where its chunky, hand-cut texture can be a feature—posters, headlines, labels, packaging accents, and playful branding. It can also work for punchy subheads or callouts, but the dense texture and tight counters make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The font conveys a playful, handmade energy with a rough-edged confidence. Its faceted shapes and small inconsistencies suggest craft, collage, or stencil-adjacent signage rather than polished corporate neutrality. The tone is bold and attention-seeking, with a slightly mischievous, cartoon-poster character.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans voice with a deliberately imperfect, hand-hewn surface—capturing the immediacy of cut-out lettering or quickly painted signage while staying typographically consistent enough for set text and numbering.
Uppercase forms keep a sturdy, condensed silhouette, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in g, a, and t), reinforcing the informal feel. Numerals match the same carved, angular language and hold up well as display figures. The texture becomes more apparent in longer lines, where the uneven edges create a distinctive dark-and-light cadence.
