A chunky, faceted sans with hand-cut irregularity throughout. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline but show subtle, uneven pressure, with angular terminals and frequent wedge-like notches that create a cut-paper silhouette. Counters tend toward polygonal shapes (notably in O, Q, and numerals), and curves are simplified into segmented arcs. The rhythm is lively and inconsistent by design, with variable glyph widths and slightly uneven joins that reinforce a handmade, display-first construction.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, and logo wordmarks where a handmade, energetic voice is desired. It can also work for packaging and playful branding, especially when short phrases or titles need a rough, crafted texture. For longer text, it’s most effective in brief blocks or pull quotes at generous sizes.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, with a rough-hewn energy that feels informal and attention-grabbing. Its angular cuts and uneven rhythm suggest a crafty, mischievous character—more zine/poster than corporate UI.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-cut lettering with a bold, angular silhouette, prioritizing personality and texture over strict geometric regularity. It aims to deliver an expressive display voice that feels crafted and slightly chaotic while remaining broadly legible.
Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with short extenders, while punctuation and small details (like i/j dots) appear bold and rounded against the otherwise chiseled shapes. Numerals keep the same carved, polygonal logic, producing a cohesive set that reads best at larger sizes where the intentional irregularities can be appreciated.
