A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans with a deliberately uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with softly rounded corners and occasional angled nicks that create a chiseled, cut-paper feel. The letterforms are broad and compact, with squarish counters and simplified geometry; several glyphs show subtle tilt and width shifts that add a lively, irregular rhythm. Numerals match the blocky construction and maintain the same sturdy, poster-like presence.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, title cards, packaging callouts, and event or entertainment branding. It works well when you want a friendly, attention-grabbing voice and can set it at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is fun and mischievous, with a bold, slightly off-kilter bounce that reads as informal and expressive rather than precise. Its cartoonish heft and wavy baseline energy evoke retro signage and playful display typography.
The design appears intended as an expressive display sans that prioritizes personality and punch over strict uniformity. Its irregular, cut-out construction suggests a goal of adding handcrafted character while keeping the forms simple and highly legible at headline scales.
Texture comes from intentional inconsistencies—varying bowl shapes, asymmetrical joints, and slightly shifting verticals—so repeated letters don’t feel mechanical. The dense black shapes can close up in small sizes, making the design feel most comfortable when given room to breathe.
