A heavy, compact display sans with irregular, faceted outlines that feel cut from paper or chipped from a block. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with corners abruptly beveled into small planes rather than smoothed curves. The letterforms show deliberate wobble and inconsistent edge angles, creating a bouncy rhythm and slightly unstable silhouettes. Counters are tight and simplified, and many joins and terminals end in sharp wedges or blunt slabs, reinforcing a rugged, hand-shaped look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, logos, game/UI title screens, stickers, and packaging where its rough-cut personality can be part of the message. It can work for punchy subheads, but the dense shapes and busy edges make it less comfortable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous—more comic and handmade than polished. Its jagged geometry and uneven cadence suggest a playful, rebellious energy that reads as crafty, punky, and a little chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handcrafted display voice—evoking cut-out or carved lettering with an intentionally irregular finish. It prioritizes character and visual texture over typographic refinement, aiming for attention and attitude in branding and title work.
The texture becomes especially noticeable in continuous text, where the repeated bevels create a lively, chattering pattern. Numerals and capitals carry the same chiseled treatment, keeping the voice consistent across the set.
