A chunky, geometric sans with squarish counters and sharply cut terminals. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, but edges show intentional irregularity: slight waviness, asymmetric joins, and off-kilter angles that give a hand-cut feel. Curves are minimal and often “squared off,” with roundedness appearing only as subtle softening at some corners. Proportions are compact vertically with broad letterforms, and spacing feels tight and block-driven, creating a dense, posterlike texture. Numerals and lowercase follow the same chiseled, modular logic, with simplified bowls and straight-sided forms.
Best suited to display settings where its chunky silhouettes can do the work: posters, album/cover art, event titles, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also fit playful UI or game/tech graphics when used at larger sizes; for extended reading, the tight, blocky rhythm is more effective in short bursts than long passages.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, mixing retro arcade sign energy with a DIY, cut-paper attitude. Its uneven geometry reads as friendly and expressive rather than clinical, making text feel animated and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, high-impact sans that feels constructed and handmade at once—favoring strong silhouettes, squared counters, and expressive irregularity to create a memorable display voice.
Distinctive square counters and notched cut-ins appear repeatedly, helping maintain cohesion despite the deliberate irregularity. The uppercase is especially solid and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps a similarly chunky, constructed look that prioritizes shape over traditional calligraphic flow.
