A compact, heavy, block-built sans with angular contours and a deliberately irregular outline. Strokes are monolinear and geometric, with beveled corners and occasional wedge-like cuts that create a hand-cut, stamped feel. The letterforms run relatively condensed with short extenders and a tall lowercase body, producing tight, emphatic word shapes. Counters are small and often squared-off, while diagonals and joins show subtle, inconsistent angles that add visual texture.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and sticker-style graphics where its rugged edges and dense color can carry the composition. It works especially well when you want a compact, attention-grabbing voice and a tactile, handmade texture.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, reading as craft-driven and slightly off-kilter rather than industrially precise. Its jagged edges and compressed rhythm suggest DIY posters, comic energy, and a retro display attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space while preserving a lively, imperfect surface. By combining condensed proportions with beveled, irregular cuts, it aims for an expressive display sans that feels crafted and energetic rather than strictly neutral.
Uppercase forms stay largely rectangular and forceful, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic structure (notably in a, e, g, and y), increasing the font’s character in longer text. Numerals are similarly chunky and faceted, matching the cut-paper aesthetic and maintaining strong silhouette recognition at display sizes.
