A heavy, block-built sans with visibly irregular contours that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal contrast, while corners are frequently beveled or faceted, producing angular counters and slightly wobbly edges. The proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with uneven widths and lively sidebearings that create a bouncy rhythm in words. Rounded forms (like O) become polygonal, and joins and terminals often end in blunt, cut-off shapes that emphasize the font’s sculpted silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like posters, display headlines, packaging, stickers, and playful branding. It also fits children’s materials, comics-style graphics, and event signage where an informal, handcrafted voice is desirable. For body copy, it works better in brief bursts (pull quotes, labels, UI badges) than in extended reading.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, leaning toward comic, DIY, and kids-friendly expression. Its roughened geometry reads as intentionally imperfect, giving text a playful, handmade confidence rather than a polished corporate feel.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable display sans that feels cut from paper or carved from chunky shapes, using irregular geometry to add personality and motion. Its consistent heaviness and faceted forms aim for instant visibility and a distinct, characterful texture in word shapes.
Capitals and lowercase share the same chunky construction, with simplified details that prioritize silhouette over fine refinement. The numerals match the same faceted, cut-paper look, helping mixed copy stay visually consistent. At smaller sizes the strong shapes hold up, but the deliberate irregularity can make long passages feel visually busy.
