A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans with blocky silhouettes and deliberately irregular contours. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but sides often taper or bow slightly, creating a carved, pinched rhythm rather than geometric uniformity. Counters are compact and sometimes asymmetrical, with squared-off openings and notch-like cut-ins that give several letters a subtly stencil-like, chiseled feel. Terminals are blunt, corners range from sharp to lightly softened, and overall spacing reads tight and dense, favoring bold shapes over delicate detail.
Works well for posters, event titles, and splashy headlines where high impact is the priority. It also fits playful logos, packaging fronts, menu headings, and bold signage that benefits from a quirky, hand-cut look. Use generous leading and moderate tracking in longer lines to keep the dense shapes from closing in visually.
The font projects a playful, retro poster energy with a slightly mischievous edge. Its exaggerated massing and quirky cut-ins feel handmade and attention-seeking, closer to cartoon titling or novelty signage than neutral modern branding. The uneven, carved character adds personality and a sense of motion, making the tone more informal and expressive than strictly functional.
Likely designed as a personality-driven display face that trades strict regularity for a carved, graphic presence. The notched counters and tapered sides suggest an intention to evoke cut-paper or chiseled-letter aesthetics while staying firmly in a sans, block-built construction optimized for bold, attention-grabbing titling.
In running text the heavy color and compact counters make it best suited to short phrases, where the distinctive notches and tapering sides can be appreciated without overwhelming readability. Numerals and uppercase forms share the same chunky, sculpted logic, giving headlines a consistent, punchy texture.
