A chunky, faceted sans with irregular, hand-cut geometry and an intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes are built from flat planes and sharp corners, with subtle wobble in verticals and diagonals that makes each glyph feel individually cut rather than mechanically drawn. Counters tend toward compact, polygonal shapes, and curves are often interpreted as angled segments, producing a rugged silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, giving the alphabet a lively, slightly chaotic texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, splashy headlines, comics or game UI titles, and expressive packaging. It also works well for children’s or event-oriented materials where a playful, handcrafted feel is desirable; for long reading, the irregular rhythm can become visually demanding.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, with a DIY, cut-paper sensibility that reads as friendly rather than formal. Its exaggerated shapes and uneven cadence suggest humor, spontaneity, and a bold, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum personality through bold massing and deliberately imperfect, hand-cut contours. By replacing smooth curves with angular facets and varying widths, it prioritizes character and impact over strict typographic regularity.
Caps and lowercase share the same chiseled construction, helping headlines feel cohesive even with mixed case. Numerals follow the same faceted logic and appear designed for display use where distinctive silhouettes matter more than neutral regularity.
