A heavy, all-caps-forward sans with chunky silhouettes, irregular geometry, and a distinctly hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, but edges break into faceted angles and uneven corners, creating a wobbly rhythm across words. Counters are compact and often polygonal, with occasional small notches and asymmetric apertures that keep letters from feeling mechanically uniform. Spacing appears intentionally inconsistent, and the overall texture reads as dense and punchy, especially in running text.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, merchandise graphics, and packaging where a bold, playful voice is desired. It works well for youth-oriented branding, comic or game-adjacent visuals, and DIY-themed promotions. For longer paragraphs or small UI text, the dense texture and irregular edges may feel busy, so it’s most effective in display roles.
The font conveys an energetic, mischievous tone—like cut-paper lettering or a bold marker style translated into jagged shapes. Its unevenness adds humor and attitude, lending a slightly chaotic, DIY personality that feels expressive rather than polished. The overall impression is loud, friendly, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, cut-out display look with strong visual weight and an intentionally imperfect rhythm. Its faceted contours and compressed counters suggest a focus on personality and immediacy over neutrality, aiming to grab attention and add a handmade edge to contemporary layouts.
Uppercase forms are especially sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase retains the same choppy construction and compact counters, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals match the blocky, faceted style and maintain strong presence at display sizes. The irregular contours can reduce clarity at small sizes, but they add character in larger compositions.
