A condensed, heavy display face with a hand-drawn, cut-paper feel. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, with subtly irregular edges and occasional notches that keep the texture lively. Counters are tight and vertical, and several forms show simplified, carved-in openings that create a stencil-like impression in places. The overall rhythm is compact and upright, with tall lowercase proportions and assertive, blocky terminals that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding moments where a handmade texture is desirable. It also works well for short slogans, labels, and signage that benefit from compact width and strong contrast against a background, but it’s less ideal for extended body text.
The font projects a playful, slightly mischievous tone—like hand-lettered signage or a DIY poster. Its irregularities add personality and informality, giving it a retro, crafty energy that feels bold and attention-seeking without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to mimic informal hand lettering with a deliberately rough, stamped or cut-out texture, optimized for high-impact display use. Its condensed proportions suggest an aim to pack bold messages into tight horizontal space while keeping an expressive, handcrafted character.
In the sample text, the dense weight and narrow set create strong word shapes, while the tight apertures and compressed spacing can reduce clarity in long passages. Numerals and capitals share the same rugged, inked texture, keeping a consistent handmade voice across the set.
