This font uses a hand-cut, angular construction with choppy contours and slightly irregular stroke edges. Letterforms are primarily geometric and sans in structure, but they avoid smooth curves in favor of faceted bends and notched joins, creating a deliberately rough rhythm. Strokes are fairly even overall with modest modulation, and terminals often end in blunt, wedge-like cuts. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing an uneven, lively texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, packaging, and short brand statements where its irregular, cut-out texture can be a feature. It can also work for captions or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing, but extended body text may feel visually busy due to the jagged rhythm.
The overall tone is quirky and playful, with a DIY, cut-paper energy that feels informal and characterful. Its roughened geometry reads as handmade rather than engineered, giving layouts a spirited, slightly mischievous personality.
The design appears intended to capture a handmade, cut-and-assembled look within a sans framework, prioritizing personality and visual punch over neutral smoothness. Its consistent faceting across letters and figures suggests a cohesive decorative voice meant for expressive typography.
Counters tend to be compact and angular, and round letters (like O/C/G) appear as many-sided shapes rather than true curves. The numerals echo the same faceted logic, staying bold and easily distinguishable at display sizes.
