A heavy, blocky sans with subtly irregular outlines and chiseled, faceted corners that read like hand-cut shapes. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with small, compact counters and occasional pinched apertures that create a dense texture in text. The forms lean on squared geometry but soften it with rounded edges and uneven terminals, giving each glyph a slightly different stance. Capitals are tall and sturdy; lowercase is simple and sturdy as well, with single-storey forms and utilitarian details (notably a compact, looped "g" and a straightforward "a"). Numerals follow the same chunky construction, emphasizing mass and silhouette over interior space.
Best suited for display work where bold silhouettes and personality matter: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and promotional graphics. It also works well for playful branding and merchandise applications where a handcrafted, cutout tone is desirable, rather than for dense reading at small sizes.
The font projects a bold, friendly toughness—like cut-paper signage or a comic display face—mixing confidence with a mischievous, informal energy. Its uneven rhythm and faceted corners add character and a handmade feel, keeping it from looking corporate or sterile.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a handmade, carved/cut aesthetic—prioritizing distinctive silhouettes, chunky presence, and an animated rhythm for attention-grabbing typography.
In longer lines, the tight counters and heavy weight create a dark, textured color; the slight irregularity becomes a feature rather than a flaw, best appreciated at larger sizes. The uppercase set feels especially strong for headlines, while the lowercase maintains the same rugged, cutout voice for short bursts of copy.
