A chunky, block-based sans with heavy strokes, squarish counters, and slightly irregular contours that feel hand-shaped rather than mechanically perfect. Corners are mostly blunt with occasional angled cuts, and curves are shallow and boxy, producing a carved, cut-paper silhouette. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with a lively, uneven rhythm in widths and sidebearings; verticals often lean subtly or swell, and bowls/counters stay compact, keeping color dense. Numerals and lowercase follow the same robust, simplified construction, prioritizing impact over refinement.
Best suited to short, bold applications where personality matters more than neutrality—posters, headlines, packaging, stickers, and playful branding. It can work for display text in games or comic-style layouts, while extended paragraph settings will read more like a graphic texture than a quiet reading face.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a casual, handmade energy that reads as cartoonish and attention-grabbing. Its uneven rhythm and chunky forms suggest humor and informality, giving text a loud, friendly voice.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a handcrafted, cutout look—favoring bold presence, simplified construction, and expressive irregularity to create a distinctive display voice.
The dense letterforms and tight inner spaces make the texture feel dark and poster-like, especially in longer lines. Distinctive, simplified shapes help with character differentiation, but the intentionally irregular geometry creates a deliberately rough, DIY finish.
