A chunky, irregular sans with hand-cut geometry and softly faceted corners. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, but edges wobble and terminals land at varied angles, producing an intentionally uneven rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and polygonal, with round forms like O and 0 rendered as multi-sided shapes rather than true ovals. Spacing and widths feel loosely normalized—some letters run wider or narrower than expected—reinforcing a handmade, cut-paper or stamped look.
Best suited to display applications where texture and personality are an asset: posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and bold social graphics. It can also work for short blurbs or captions when you want a handmade, slightly rugged voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is casual and spirited, with a crafty, DIY energy. Its roughened outlines and slightly off-kilter letterforms give it a friendly, mischievous character that reads more like hand-made signage than a polished corporate sans.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or carved lettering while maintaining a clear sans structure. It prioritizes character and tactile texture over geometric precision, aiming for immediate impact and an approachable, crafty feel.
In text, the jagged edges and tightened counters create strong color and presence, but also introduce a bit of visual noise at smaller sizes. The distinctive polygonal bowls and angled joins are consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the style hold together in longer lines.
