A heavy, blocky sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry and subtly uneven contours. Strokes are largely monolinear with softened corners and occasional pinched joints, creating a carved-out feel rather than a mechanically perfect build. Counters tend to be small and sometimes off-center, and several forms show slight asymmetry that gives the face a lively, cut-paper rhythm. Overall spacing reads open enough for display use, while the consistent mass of the shapes keeps word images dense and impactful.
Best suited to posters, headlines, packaging, and signage where strong silhouettes and personality are more important than long-form readability. It can work well for playful branding and logo wordmarks, especially when you want a bold, handcrafted feel at medium to large sizes.
The font projects a playful, slightly mischievous tone—more handmade than industrial. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky counter shapes evoke retro poster lettering and craft signage, with an energetic, informal personality that feels bold and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes personality, silhouette, and a handmade, cutout aesthetic. Its consistent weight and deliberately irregular detailing suggest it is meant to feel informal and expressive rather than neutral or corporate.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase includes distinctive, simplified constructions that emphasize silhouette over refinement. Numerals match the same chunky, slightly irregular logic, making the set feel cohesive for headings and short bursts of text.
