This typeface is built from chunky, compact letterforms with an uneven, hand-shaped perimeter. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with frequent angled cuts, notched corners, and slightly wobbly verticals that create a faceted silhouette. Counters tend to be small and irregular, and curves often resolve into straight segments, giving round letters a polygonal feel. Spacing and width vary by glyph, producing an intentionally uneven rhythm in text while keeping a consistent overall density.
Best suited to display settings where texture and character are assets: posters, punchy headlines, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short bursts of text in editorial or book-cover contexts when a deliberately rough, playful voice is desired.
The tone is informal and quirky, with a craft-made, cut-paper energy. Its rough geometry and imperfect edges read as playful and slightly mischievous rather than refined, lending a distinctive personality that feels homemade and expressive.
The design appears intended to emulate a hand-cut, stencil-like or carved look using bold, angular forms and irregular edges. Its goal seems to be high visual impact with a deliberately imperfect texture that adds personality and energy to simple sans structures.
Capitals appear especially sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase maintains a lively, inconsistent texture that emphasizes the handmade construction. Numerals follow the same chiseled, cutout logic, with simplified shapes and strong mass that keep them visually cohesive in headings.
