A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans with a hand-cut, faceted construction. Strokes are chunky and low-contrast, with corners broken into small angles that create a choppy silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and often polygonal (notably in O, Q, and numerals), and many terminals end in blunt wedges or notched cuts. Spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven, giving the alphabet a lively, slightly jostled rhythm while remaining broadly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where texture and personality are desirable: posters, headlines, packaging, album artwork, and event or festival flyers. It can work well for playful branding and titles where a rough-hewn, handmade look is an asset, but its irregular rhythm suggests avoiding long paragraphs or small UI text.
The font conveys a mischievous, DIY energy—like cut paper, linocut, or a quickly painted sign translated into crisp shapes. Its jagged geometry reads as bold and attention-seeking, with a retro-cartoon tone that can feel comedic, spooky, or punk depending on context and color.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a deliberately imperfect, cut-from-paper geometry. By combining simplified sans structures with jagged edges and uneven widths, it aims to feel handmade and energetic while staying readable in large sizes.
Lowercase forms largely echo the uppercase attitude, maintaining the same angular cuts and compact counters; the dotted i/j use diamond-like dots that reinforce the faceted theme. Numerals are similarly chunky and irregular, with strong silhouettes suited to headings rather than continuous reading.
