A heavy, block-built sans with angular, cut-out contours and deliberately uneven geometry. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with frequent diagonal shears and notched corners that create a carved, faceted silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and often squarish, and the overall rhythm feels hand-shaped, with small variations in width and stance from letter to letter. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a prominent x-height, while figures follow the same chunky, polygonal construction.
Best suited for posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and branding moments where a bold, characterful voice is needed. It can also work well in game UI titles, event graphics, or children’s and comic-adjacent media where an intentionally rough, lively texture is an asset.
The texture reads loud and mischievous, with a rough-cut, handmade energy that feels comic and a bit chaotic. Its jagged edges and shifting angles add a rebellious, playful tone suited to attention-grabbing display use.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a purposely imperfect, hand-carved look, prioritizing personality and silhouette over refinement. Its angular cuts and chunky proportions suggest a display face meant to feel energetic and tactile in short bursts of text.
Spacing in the sample appears generous enough to keep the dense shapes from clumping, but the sharp corners and small counters make the design feel most comfortable at larger sizes. Distinctive details like the squarish bowls and frequent corner cuts give it a consistent “cut paper/stone” character across letters and numerals.
