A heavy, sans-based display face with a deliberately irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are chunky and mostly monolinear, but edges are faceted with wedge-like cuts that create an angular, chiseled rhythm. Counters are compact and rounded, and terminals tend to end in sharp diagonals rather than smooth curves. The overall texture is lively and uneven in a controlled way, with slightly inconsistent widths and a subtle bounce that reads clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to display applications where its lively texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, packaging, event promotions, and bold signage. It also works well for playful branding, children’s materials, and short emphasis text where a handmade, energetic feel is desired.
The font conveys a playful, DIY attitude—like cut paper, linocut, or comic lettering rendered with a bold marker and then trimmed into facets. Its upbeat irregularity gives it a friendly, mischievous tone that feels informal and attention-grabbing rather than corporate or restrained.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable sans with a crafted, imperfect finish—prioritizing personality and impact over strict geometric uniformity. Its faceted terminals and uneven rhythm suggest a purposeful attempt to mimic hand-cut or hand-rendered lettering while keeping letterforms simple and readable.
Capitals are blocky and straightforward while the lowercase keeps the same carved treatment, helping maintain a consistent voice across mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same chunky construction with angled cuts, producing a rugged, poster-like texture in sequences and headlines.
