A heavy, block-based display sans with faceted, chiseled contours and intentionally irregular geometry. Strokes stay consistently thick, but corners and terminals break into angled cuts and small notches, giving each glyph a hand-hewn silhouette. Proportions are generally broad with compact counters; bowls and apertures read as polygonal shapes rather than smooth curves. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, creating a lively, uneven rhythm that feels more cut-out than engineered.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event headlines, packaging, badges, and logo wordmarks where its chunky silhouettes can read clearly. It can also work for playful signage or merch graphics, but is less comfortable for dense paragraph text due to its irregular rhythm and compact internal spaces.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, with a handmade, slightly chaotic energy. Its jagged edges and asymmetric details suggest a DIY, poster-like attitude that leans toward humor and playful roughness rather than refinement.
The design appears intended as an expressive display face that mimics cut paper or chiseled block lettering, prioritizing character and punch over typographic neutrality. Its controlled consistency in weight paired with deliberate angular “imperfections” suggests a goal of looking handcrafted while remaining broadly legible.
Lowercase forms keep the same faceted construction as the capitals, and the numerals match the angular, cut-corner motif for a cohesive set. The strong silhouettes hold up well at larger sizes, while the irregular edges and tight counters can become busy when set too small or in long blocks of text.
