A heavy, blocky display sans with irregular, chiseled contours that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, but the edges wobble subtly and corners break into faceted angles, creating a distressed, cut-paper silhouette. Counters are compact and somewhat uneven, with simplified interior shapes that keep the texture bold at large sizes. Terminals are blunt and squared off, and the overall rhythm is intentionally lumpy, giving lines of text a lively, uneven texture without a strong slant.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and title treatments where the textured, hand-cut look can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work well for packaging, signage, and event graphics that benefit from a bold, playful voice, but is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI text where the irregular contours may blur together.
The tone is energetic and mischievous, mixing a retro poster sensibility with a DIY, handmade roughness. Its chunky silhouettes and faceted edges read as bold and attention-seeking, with a slightly spooky or comic edge depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect, hand-made construction—evoking carved, cut, or stamped lettering while staying in a clean, sans-like structure. Its consistent heaviness and faceted edges suggest a display font built to add character and attitude to short bursts of text.
Uppercase forms are especially blocklike and sturdy, while lowercase keeps the same cutout logic with simplified bowls and short ascenders/descenders. Numerals match the same rugged geometry, with clear, chunky shapes meant to hold up in impactful settings.
