A heavy, blocky sans with faceted, chiseled contours and irregular geometry that feels hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are consistently thick with little internal modulation, and many terminals end in blunt, angled cuts. Counters are compact and often polygonal, giving letters like O/Q a cut-out look. Proportions are broad and sturdy, with a tall lowercase presence and a slightly bouncy rhythm from varied widths and subtle shape wobble across the set.
Best suited to display typography where its chunky silhouettes and faceted edges can be appreciated—posters, event promos, playful branding, packaging, and short headlines. It can also work for comic-style captions or bold social graphics, while extended small-size text may feel busy due to the irregular edges and tight counters.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, evoking cartoon titling and cut-paper or stone-carved lettering. Its jagged facets and chunky massing give it a loud, energetic personality that reads as informal and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, characterful sans for titles, using angular cuts and irregular outlines to create a handcrafted, cartoonish texture while maintaining simple, readable letterforms.
The texture is intentionally uneven: some glyphs lean on asymmetric cuts and notched joins, producing a lively, handmade feel at display sizes. The numerals follow the same faceted logic, keeping the set visually consistent and bold in dense black shapes.
