A heavy, block-built sans with chunky, squared silhouettes softened by subtly rounded corners and occasional pinched notches. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, while counters are small and often rectangular, giving letters a dense, poster-like color. Edges feel intentionally uneven and cut-in, creating a slightly distressed, hand-cut look rather than a mechanically perfect outline. Proportions are broad and compact, with tight interior spaces and a tall, sturdy lowercase that reads as bold even at moderate sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a bold, tactile personality is an advantage. It can work well in logos or titles that want a rough-hewn geometric voice; for longer reading, the dense counters and heavy color are likely to feel overpowering.
The overall tone is assertive and gritty with a humorous, cartoony edge. Its roughened geometry suggests DIY signage, screen-printed ephemera, or stamped lettering—confident, loud, and a bit mischievous. The texture-like irregularities add personality and energy, keeping the feel more handmade than corporate.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a handmade, cutout-like texture while staying within a clean, geometric, sans framework. The goal seems to be an attention-grabbing display face that feels industrial and playful at once, using controlled irregularity to add character without sacrificing overall consistency.
The design maintains a coherent squared-oval construction across rounds (like O/C) and straights (like E/H), while allowing small idiosyncrasies per glyph that enhance the rugged character. Numerals follow the same dense, cut-block logic, matching the text color and headline impact.
