A heavy, blocky sans with jagged, irregular contours that feel cut or chipped rather than drawn with smooth curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners frequently break into faceted angles, giving counters and bowls an uneven, hand-shaped quality. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with simplified construction in many forms and slightly inconsistent widths that add to the handmade rhythm. Numerals and capitals read especially strong as bold silhouettes, while lowercase maintains the same rugged texture with short extenders and solid, squared-off terminals.
Best suited for short-form display use such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, album art, and bold branding moments that benefit from a rough, attention-grabbing texture. It can also work for playful editorial headings where a distressed, handmade feel is desired rather than smooth neutrality.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, like DIY signage or a rough-cut stencil without the bridges. Its uneven edges suggest energy, imperfection, and a bit of menace, landing somewhere between playful and gritty. The texture reads as tactile and analog, evoking craft materials, carved letters, or distressed print.
Likely designed to provide a strong sans foundation while injecting character through deliberately chipped, faceted outlines. The goal appears to be immediate impact and a tactile, crafted look that stands apart from clean geometric or grotesk display faces.
Spacing and internal shapes are intentionally uneven, creating a lively, slightly chaotic color in text. The irregular edges contribute a built-in texture that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may emphasize the roughness over fine detail.
