A heavy, rounded sans with chunky silhouettes and noticeably irregular, chiseled-looking edges. Many curved letters feature a distinctive vertical slit/counter break, producing a stencil-like construction that repeats consistently across O/Q and several numerals. Terminals are blunt and slightly uneven, with a hand-cut feel that softens geometry without turning calligraphic. Spacing and widths vary by character, creating a bouncy rhythm in words while maintaining a solid, blocky overall color.
Best suited for posters, headlines, brand marks, and packaging where a bold, stencil-inspired voice is desired. It works well for event graphics, product labels, and playful merchandising, especially when set large with generous line spacing. For long passages or small sizes, the dense weight and broken counters may reduce clarity.
The font reads bold and utilitarian with a DIY, cut-out personality—part industrial stencil, part quirky display. Its roughened contours and counter breaks add grit and character, making text feel energetic and attention-grabbing rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to deliver a bold display sans with a memorable stencil cut and intentionally roughened edges, combining strong impact with a handcrafted, slightly mischievous texture.
The counter breaks become a key identifying motif, especially in round forms, and they create small highlights that remain visible at display sizes. In dense lines, the heavy strokes and compact apertures can visually merge, so it favors larger sizes and shorter strings where its texture can breathe.
