A heavy, blocky sans with irregular, hand-cut contours and noticeably faceted corners. Strokes are broad and compact with small, uneven notches and slight waviness that create a lively, imperfect edge. Counters tend to be small and rounded-rectangular, while diagonals and joins look chiseled rather than smooth, giving letters a carved or stamped feel. Overall spacing and rhythm are steady, but individual glyph silhouettes vary enough to keep the texture animated in text.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted edges and dense shapes can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and energetic marketing or event materials. It can also work for short UI or social graphics where a bold, handcrafted voice is desired, but long passages will feel visually loud.
The tone is playful and slightly mischievous, with a retro poster energy that feels handmade rather than engineered. Its roughened geometry and chunky mass read as bold, informal, and attention-seeking, suited to fun or theatrical messaging more than quiet editorial work.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handmade sans voice—evoking cut-paper, carved rubber stamp, or linocut-inspired signage—while keeping letterforms simple enough to remain legible at typical display sizes.
Uppercase forms lean toward compact, poster-like blocks, while lowercase retains the same chunky construction with simplified shapes and minimal internal detail. Numerals match the same cutout aesthetic, maintaining strong color and consistent visual weight for display settings.
