A heavy, block-built sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal internal modulation, and corners tend to be blunt or slightly beveled rather than smoothly rounded. Many glyphs show subtle tilt, uneven verticals, and pinched joins, giving the forms a deliberately imperfect, cut-paper feel. Counters are small and angular, and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, creating a lively, jittery rhythm in text.
This font works best for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, stickers, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It can also suit comics or youth-oriented event materials where a bold, characterful voice is desired; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, with a DIY, zine-like attitude. Its uneven silhouettes and chunky weight read as loud and attention-seeking, suggesting fun, games, and informal entertainment rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a deliberately imperfect, hand-made texture—trading typographic neutrality for personality. Its blocky construction and uneven rhythm aim to feel spontaneous and expressive while still remaining clearly sans and upright in structure.
In the sample text, the dense black color and tight counters make spacing and word shapes especially important at smaller sizes. The numerals and capitals maintain the same rugged construction, supporting a consistent display voice across mixed content.
