A compact, heavy sans with a distinctly hand-cut, slightly irregular construction. Strokes stay broadly even, but many joins and terminals resolve into sharp wedge-like corners, giving curves a faceted, chiseled feel. Counters are relatively tight and shapes are condensed, especially in the capitals, creating a dense texture and strong silhouette. The baseline and verticals read steady, while subtle asymmetries and varying interior angles add a lively, non-mechanical rhythm across words.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, headlines, titles, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for playful signage or editorial callouts, but the condensed, high-impact shapes favor larger sizes over long-form reading.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, like cut-paper lettering or a stylized display face from mid-century packaging. Its angular softness and bouncy rhythm make it feel friendly and humorous rather than strictly utilitarian, while the heavy weight keeps it assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful sans voice that mimics hand-shaped or cut lettering while remaining clean and cohesive in text. The wedge terminals and faceted curves aim to create a distinctive rhythm and strong word shapes for attention-driven display typography.
Uppercase forms appear more uniform and blocky, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic gestures (notably in letters like a, g, and y), enhancing the handmade flavor. Numerals share the same compact, punchy proportions and wedge-ended strokes, keeping headings and short strings visually cohesive.
