A heavy, chunky sans with rounded, compact counters and visibly irregular outlines. Strokes look hand-inked or cut, with rough edges, slight bumps, and small notches that create a textured silhouette. The letterforms lean on simple geometric bases (especially rounds like O/C/G) but are intentionally uneven in stroke edges and internal counters, producing an organic rhythm. Terminals are blunt and soft rather than sharp, and overall spacing feels open enough for large, punchy settings despite the mass of the shapes.
Best suited for display uses where texture and personality are an asset: posters, headlines, branding accents, packaging, stickers, and merch. It will hold up well at larger sizes in short bursts of text, where the rough edges and dense forms can function as a strong visual hook.
The font reads as playful and handmade, with a scrappy, DIY energy. Its rough contouring adds a casual, slightly rebellious tone—more zine/poster than polished corporate. The overall impression is friendly and loud, like stamped lettering or thick marker shapes with intentional imperfections.
The design appears intended to deliver bold impact with a handcrafted, imperfect surface—capturing the feel of inked, stamped, or cut-out lettering while keeping the underlying forms simple and readable.
Round letters (O/Q) show off the distinctive rough counter shapes, while diagonals in V/W/X/Z keep a blocky, cut-out character. Numerals match the same chunky texture and simple construction, reinforcing a consistent, display-first personality across the set.
