A chunky, heavy display face with hand-cut-looking outlines and softly flattened corners. Strokes are broad and largely monoline, with visible wobble, nicks, and irregular curves that create a textured edge rather than a clean geometric finish. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a bouncy rhythm; counters are compact and shapes lean toward squarish, slightly compressed bowls with occasional bulges. The overall spacing feels open and forgiving, supporting large, impactful letterforms even with the intentionally uneven silhouette.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its weight and texture can do the work—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, stickers, and casual branding. It can also add character to pull quotes or section headers, but the rough edges and variable shapes make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is informal and energetic, with a cheeky, slightly scruffy personality that reads as handmade and approachable. Its roughened shapes evoke DIY signage and playful headline typography, trading precision for warmth and character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a handmade, imperfect finish—prioritizing personality and bold presence over strict regularity. It aims to mimic the feel of brushed or cut paper letterforms while remaining clear and legible in display settings.
The figures and uppercase forms are especially blocky and attention-grabbing, while lowercase keeps the same rough, friendly texture. The irregular edge treatment is consistent enough to feel intentional, producing a cohesive “cutout” or “stamped” impression in continuous text.
