A chunky, irregular display face with squared counters, slightly uneven strokes, and subtly warped geometry that reads as hand-cut or hand-drawn. Many forms are built from straight segments with softened corners, producing a blocky silhouette and a gently unstable baseline and rhythm. The uppercase feels compact and modular, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and spacing, reinforcing the intentionally imperfect, crafted texture. Numerals are bold and simplified, matching the squarish, poster-like construction.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and packaging where a playful, handmade look is desirable. It can work for brief blurbs or pull quotes, but its uneven rhythm and decorative irregularities are most effective when given room at larger sizes.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, with a mischievous, DIY character that suggests zines, cartoons, and informal signage. Its controlled awkwardness and uneven rhythm create a lively, humorous voice rather than a polished or corporate feel.
The design appears intended to evoke a deliberately imperfect, hand-crafted aesthetic—like cut paper, marker blocks, or rough stencil lettering—while staying cohesive enough for readable display typography. Its mix of squarish construction and quirky modulation aims to add character and humor to contemporary graphic layouts.
The font’s personality comes from consistent micro-variations—slight tilts, uneven terminals, and squared bowls—that keep lines of text animated. In longer samples it remains readable at display sizes, but the irregular spacing and quirky lowercase details make it feel more expressive than neutral.
