A chunky, faceted sans with letters built from sharp planar cuts rather than smooth curves. Strokes keep a fairly even thickness, with slightly irregular joins and angled terminals that create a chiseled, hand-cut feel. Proportions are lively and somewhat inconsistent by design, with a gently bouncy baseline and loose, informal spacing that enhances the handmade rhythm. Counters are simplified and often polygonal, giving rounds like O and 8 a distinctive, angular silhouette.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where the bold, faceted texture can do the talking. It can work well for playful packaging, event graphics, children’s or hobby-themed projects, and distinctive branding accents, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, like a craft-paper cutout or a hand-lettered comic display. Its uneven geometry and energetic shapes read as friendly and informal, leaning toward whimsical rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or carved lettering through consistent angular faceting and intentionally irregular outlines. It prioritizes character and visual texture over strict geometric regularity, aiming for an expressive display voice that stays readable while feeling handmade.
The faceting is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “carved” texture in text. The sample paragraph shows strong presence at display sizes, where the angular counters and terminals become a defining pattern.
