A heavy, blocky sans with irregular, faceted contours that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes maintain a largely uniform thickness, but edges wobble and corners break into small planes, creating a jagged silhouette throughout. Counters tend to be compact and angular, and the overall rhythm is slightly uneven, with subtle variations in stance and width between characters that enhance the handmade impression.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and character are desirable, such as posters, loud headlines, product packaging, event promotions, and playful branding. The dense, chunky forms can also work for logos or badges, but the busy silhouettes suggest avoiding long passages or small sizes where the faceting may reduce clarity.
The tone is energetic and mischievous, leaning toward a comic, craft-made aesthetic rather than a polished corporate voice. Its rough-hewn geometry gives it a playful bite—bold and attention-seeking without feeling formal or refined.
Likely designed to capture a hand-made, cutout look in a sturdy, high-impact sans structure. The goal appears to be strong legibility at display sizes while prioritizing personality through irregular geometry and a purposely imperfect rhythm.
The font’s personality comes primarily from its inconsistent edge treatment: terminals look clipped, curves are simplified into facets, and inner shapes often echo the same cut-paper geometry. Numerals share the same chunky construction and irregular contouring, helping the set feel cohesive in display use.
