A heavy, blocky sans with irregular, hand-shaped contours and a distinctly faceted silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, but edges break into angled cuts and uneven curves, creating a cut-paper rhythm rather than geometric precision. Letterforms show noticeable variation in width and stance, with compact counters and simplified joins that keep the texture dense at display sizes. Terminals are blunt and frequently wedge-like, and round characters (O, C, G) read as softened polygons rather than true circles.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its bold mass and quirky texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event flyers, playful packaging, and kid-oriented or comic-style graphics. It can also work for logos or badges that benefit from a handmade, cutout aesthetic.
The overall tone is playful and loud, with a DIY, hand-cut feel that suggests spontaneity and humor. Its uneven rhythm and chunky shapes create a friendly, comic energy that reads more expressive than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an expressive, handmade sans voice—prioritizing character, silhouette, and display punch over strict uniformity or neutral readability.
The font maintains strong black coverage and a consistent chunky color across lines, while the intentional irregularity adds motion and personality. The figure set matches the same carved, angular language, staying bold and attention-grabbing.
