A heavy, chunky sans with faceted outlines and intentionally irregular contours. Strokes stay consistently thick with blunt terminals, and many curves are simplified into angular, almost polygonal forms (notably in round letters and numerals). Counters are compact and sometimes off-center, contributing to a lively texture, while overall proportions remain straightforward and upright for legibility. Spacing and widths feel loosely normalized, letting some letters run wider or tighter to maintain the hand-cut rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and playful branding where texture and personality are desirable. It works well in children’s materials, comic-style titling, and event graphics, especially at larger sizes where the faceted edges and irregular counters can be appreciated. For long text or small UI sizes, the dense counters and rough rhythm may feel heavy.
The font reads as playful and mischievous, with a cut-paper or carved look that feels informal and expressive. Its uneven edges and lumpy geometry create a friendly, comic energy rather than a polished corporate tone. The overall impression is bold, attention-seeking, and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-crafted sans voice with a purposely rough, cut-out aesthetic. By trading smooth curves for angular facets and keeping strokes uniformly thick, it aims for immediate impact and a distinctive, informal tone in display typography.
Round forms like O/0 and C take on an octagonal silhouette, and diagonals are prominent, giving the design a chiseled, poster-like presence. The lowercase is similarly chunky and irregular, with simple single-storey constructions and compact counters that reinforce the handmade feel. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and angularity, supporting cohesive display use.
