A heavy, angular sans with a cut-paper silhouette and intentionally irregular geometry. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with sharply chamfered corners, asymmetric joins, and uneven sidebearings that create a jittery rhythm across lines. Counters tend to be small and squarish, and many bowls and apertures are formed by straight segments rather than curves, giving the letterforms a faceted, carved feel. The lowercase follows the same blocky construction with simplified forms and a compact, chunky texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, logos, packaging callouts, and playful editorial or comic-style graphics. It works well when you want texture and attitude more than smooth readability, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the angular details can breathe.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a DIY, hand-built personality that feels loud and attention-grabbing. Its angular wobble reads as playful and slightly chaotic, lending a cartoonish, zine-like attitude rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or hand-drawn lettering with a deliberately imperfect, geometric construction. By prioritizing bold silhouette and quirky rhythm over strict consistency, it aims to deliver character and visual punch in display applications.
The strong black mass and tight internal spaces make the design feel dense at smaller sizes, while the irregular widths and quirky angles become a feature at display scale. Numerals match the same cut, off-kilter construction, maintaining consistent impact and rhythm.
