A heavy, compact display sans with blocky silhouettes and visibly irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with abrupt terminals, pinched corners, and slightly wavering edges that create a carved or stamped impression. Counters are small and sometimes notched, and the overall rhythm is tight, with condensed capitals and compact lowercase forms that keep the texture dense in text. Figures and letters show intentional inconsistencies in width and edge geometry, reinforcing a rough, tactile construction rather than a strictly geometric one.
Best suited for posters, headlines, short slogans, and branding moments where a rugged, handmade texture is desirable. It can work well on packaging and labels, event promotions, album or book covers, and thematic graphics that benefit from a bold, cut-out look. For extended reading, it is more effective in short bursts rather than body text.
The font conveys a playful roughness—bold and attention-grabbing, but with a DIY, cut-paper or woodblock energy. Its uneven edges and chunky forms give it a lively, slightly mischievous tone that reads as retro and craft-driven rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect physical lettering—like hand-cut stencils, wood type, or stamped display text—while staying within a simple sans framework. Its goal seems to be strong impact and personality through chunky weight, condensed proportions, and intentionally rough edge behavior.
The alphabet maintains a consistent heavy color while allowing individual glyphs to vary in silhouette, which adds character but can make long passages feel busy. The dense counters and tight interior spaces suggest it will be most effective when given generous size and spacing, especially in dark-on-light settings.
