A heavy, compact sans with an intentionally uneven, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are mostly monoline but show subtle tapering and wedge-like terminals, creating a slightly chiseled look. Letterforms lean on simple geometric structures yet feel organic due to small asymmetries, off-center bowls, and varied counters. Corners are softened rather than sharply engineered, and the overall rhythm is lively with inconsistent widths and a subtly wobbling baseline feel.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, packaging, and distinctive brand marks. It can also work for book covers and event graphics where a handmade, retro tone is desirable, but it’s less ideal for long passages or small UI text where consistency and economy are critical.
The font reads as playful and characterful, with a casual, handmade energy that suggests mid-century display lettering or cut-paper signage. Its irregularities add charm and friendliness while keeping a strong, confident presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a hand-crafted, slightly mischievous texture—combining simple sans construction with irregular, wedge-cut details to feel human and memorable.
Capitals are sturdy and poster-ready, while the lowercase introduces more personality through varied joins and compressed bowls. Numerals match the chunky, cut-terminal style and remain clear at display sizes, though the deliberate irregularity may reduce precision in dense setting.
