A compact, heavy sans with irregular, hand-cut-looking outlines and subtly wavy verticals. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with small notches, dents, and uneven terminals that create a rough, stamped texture. Counters are relatively tight and shapes lean toward condensed proportions, while widths vary by letter, giving the line a lively, uneven rhythm. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with a single-storey a, and figures are chunky and open enough for display use.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It can also work for stickers, merch, and kids-oriented or comic-adjacent designs where a rough, handmade texture is desirable; it’s less suited to extended reading at small sizes due to its dense color and irregular edges.
The overall tone is playful and boisterous, with a cartoonish, DIY energy. Its rough edges and slightly erratic rhythm evoke hand-made signage, cut-paper lettering, or a distressed screenprint, making the voice feel informal and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, informal display voice with a deliberately imperfect, hand-crafted texture. The condensed proportions and chunky shapes prioritize punch and personality over neutrality, aiming for immediate visual presence in titles and promotional typography.
In longer text the texture becomes a prominent feature: the uneven edges and varying glyph widths create a strong visual beat and can read as intentionally rugged rather than neutral. Round letters (like O, Q, and 8) are notably squat and dense, reinforcing the compact, poster-like color on the page.
