A heavy, angular sans with chiseled, polygonal outlines and subtly irregular contours that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are predominantly straight with abrupt corner breaks, producing faceted bowls and counters (notably in O/o and numerals) and wedge-like terminals. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with a tall x-height and short extenders; spacing and widths vary by letter, creating a lively, uneven rhythm in words. The overall texture is dense and dark, with consistent stroke weight but deliberately inconsistent edge geometry for character.
Best suited for short, high-impact text where the irregular, faceted shapes can be a feature—posters, headlines, packaging, social graphics, stickers, and playful branding. It can also work for logotypes or display lockups that benefit from a bold, quirky tone, while extended body copy may feel visually busy due to the uneven rhythm and heavy texture.
The font reads as mischievous and energetic, with a bouncy, cut-paper personality that leans toward retro comic and novelty signage. Its jagged corners and slightly warped silhouettes add a friendly roughness that feels informal and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a handmade edge—capturing the look of carved or cut letterforms while remaining broadly sans in construction. Its variable widths and jagged geometry prioritize personality and motion over strict uniformity and typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms stay blocky and stable while lowercase adds more idiosyncratic shapes, reinforcing an animated, handcrafted feel in running text. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, maintaining strong stylistic continuity across the set.
