A heavy, blocky sans with mostly geometric construction and rounded corners, interrupted by frequent notches and cut-in “bites” that create a rough, stencil-like texture. Strokes are broad and even, with simplified curves and wide, open counters that keep the letterforms readable despite the irregular detailing. The irregular cuts repeat across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a consistent distressed rhythm rather than random noise, and the overall spacing feels slightly uneven in an intentional, characterful way.
Best suited to display use where the cut-out texture can be appreciated: posters, event flyers, bold headlines, packaging, stickers, and merch graphics. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes when set large with generous tracking, but the busy detailing may become distracting in long-form text or small UI sizes.
The repeated nicks and intrusions give the face a mischievous, slightly chaotic energy—like a clean display sans run through a glitchy or cut-out process. It reads as playful and attention-seeking, with a DIY, zine/poster attitude that feels more expressive than polished.
This font appears designed to take a straightforward, high-impact sans foundation and inject personality through systematic irregular cuts, creating a distinct visual texture without sacrificing basic legibility. The goal seems to be a memorable, one-off display voice that feels handmade and experimental while remaining structurally simple.
In text settings the notches create small dark clusters at joins and curves, which increases visual buzz and makes the texture more prominent as size decreases. Numerals are sturdy and sign-like, matching the caps’ blunt geometry, while the lowercase keeps a simple, approachable structure that supports short bursts of copy.
