A chunky display sans with faceted, chiseled-looking contours and intentionally irregular outlines. Strokes are heavy and compact, with abrupt angle changes and slightly uneven edges that create a cut-paper or carved-block feel rather than smooth geometry. Counters are small and sometimes off-center, and curves are rendered as softened polygons, giving round letters a subtly octagonal profile. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across characters, producing an uneven, lively rhythm that reads best at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging, stickers, and merchandise graphics where a bold, characterful voice is desired. It can also work for album art and playful branding marks, but its irregular rhythm makes it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a handmade, cartoon-like energy. Its jagged-yet-friendly shapes feel informal and expressive, suggesting humor, spontaneity, and a slightly wild, DIY attitude.
The design appears aimed at creating a loud, friendly display voice with a handmade, carved aesthetic. Its irregular widths and faceted curves seem intended to inject personality and motion, delivering an energetic look that stands apart from cleaner, more neutral sans styles.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged, faceted construction, and several forms lean toward simplified, blocky silhouettes that prioritize impact over refinement. The numerals follow the same cut, irregular logic, staying bold and legible while retaining the rough-hewn personality.
