A condensed, heavy sans with chunky strokes and subtly irregular, hand-cut contours. The letterforms show gentle edge wobble and occasional notch-like cut-ins that create a lightly stencil-like feel without breaking the silhouettes. Bowls and counters are compact and rounded, while verticals dominate the texture, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the same robust, slightly uneven construction for a unified, display-driven color on the page.
Best suited to posters, bold headlines, packaging, and brand marks where a compact footprint and strong impact are needed. It will also work well for short callouts, labels, and sticker-style graphics that benefit from a playful, hand-cut display voice.
The overall tone feels bold and energetic, with a casual, hand-made character that reads as retro and slightly mischievous. Its uneven edges and compact forms give it a lively, human warmth rather than a strictly industrial precision.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that combines condensed proportions with a deliberately imperfect, cut-paper or carved look. Its goal is to deliver maximum presence and distinctiveness while keeping forms simple and readable at large sizes.
In text settings the tight, condensed proportions create strong word shapes and a continuous dark typographic color; spacing appears tuned for headlines where mass and rhythm matter more than airiness. The distinctive cut-ins and softened corners add personality, helping the font stand out in short phrases and branding lines.
