A chunky, geometric sans with heavy, rounded-meets-angular forms that feel carved rather than drawn. Many glyphs include deliberate breaks and notches through the strokes, creating a stencil-like, fragmented silhouette and strong figure/ground interplay. Curves are simplified into broad arcs, terminals are often blunt, and diagonals can look slightly unstable or hand-cut, giving the set a lively, uneven rhythm across lines. Counters stay relatively open despite the mass, and the overall texture reads as bold, graphic shapes with intentional interruptions.
Best suited to display settings where its cutout/stenciled construction can be appreciated—posters, headlines, album and book covers, packaging, and event promotions. It can also work for short branding phrases or section headers when you want a bold graphic voice rather than continuous-text readability.
The font projects a playful, mischievous tone—like paper cutouts, collage lettering, or DIY signage. Its broken strokes and lopsided energy suggest experimentation and motion rather than strict neutrality, lending a distinctive, offbeat personality that feels retro and crafty.
The design appears intended to turn a straightforward sans skeleton into a characterful display face by introducing systematic gaps, notches, and slightly irregular stroke geometry. It prioritizes visual impact and a handmade/collage feel, offering a strong silhouette and memorable texture for attention-grabbing typography.
The stencil breaks become a defining motif, appearing across both uppercase and lowercase and even in numerals, which adds strong visual identity but also increases visual noise at smaller sizes. The irregularities vary by glyph, so the font’s charm comes from its imperfect, expressive consistency rather than strict uniform geometry.
