A heavy, chunky sans with irregular, hand-cut contours and subtly uneven stroke edges. Shapes are generally upright and compact, with broad stems, small-ish counters, and a slightly bouncy rhythm created by inconsistent curvature and tapered joins. Corners tend to be softened or blunt rather than sharp, and many glyphs show gentle bulges and notches that keep the texture lively. The lowercase is robust and tall relative to capitals, and numerals match the same cut-paper, stamped look for a consistent color on the line.
Best suited to bold display applications such as posters, headlines, packaging, and promotional graphics where a rough, handmade texture can carry the concept. It also works well for merchandise, labels, and playful branding that benefits from a stamped or cutout aesthetic.
The overall tone is playful and emphatic, with a rough-hewn, analog feel that reads like a bold poster cutout or a rubber-stamp impression. Its uneven edges add warmth and personality, leaning toward retro display energy rather than neutral modernity.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with an intentionally imperfect, handcrafted edge, adding personality and a tactile, analog texture to simple sans letterforms.
In text, the dense black presence creates strong impact, while the irregular outlines add visual noise that can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The wide, blocky forms and tight counters particularly favor short phrases and punchy headlines where texture is a feature.
