A heavy, blocky sans with irregular, slightly canted verticals and chamfered corners that give the outlines a carved, cut-paper feel. Counters are generally small and squared, with simplified joins and minimal curvature, creating a punchy, compact rhythm. Strokes stay broadly even, but the silhouette wobbles intentionally through leaning stems and asymmetrical terminals, producing a lively texture across words and lines. Numerals and lowercase follow the same chunky construction, with sturdy bowls and truncated, angular terminals that keep the overall color dense and assertive.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and event graphics where impact and personality matter more than quiet readability. It can also work for short callouts, merch, and signage that benefits from a bold, energetic voice.
The tone is bold and mischievous, leaning toward handmade display lettering rather than neutral text typography. Its irregular geometry and choppy corners suggest a retro, poster-driven energy—confident, a bit unruly, and designed to grab attention at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a deliberately roughened, hand-cut aesthetic—combining sturdy sans structure with angular, irregular shaping to feel expressive and memorable in large-format use.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and a dense typographic color, especially in longer lines, where the slight slanting and uneven edge alignment create a distinctive, animated rhythm. The squared apertures and short cross-strokes help maintain clarity at display sizes while preserving the font’s intentionally rough, cut-edge character.
