A heavy, block-built sans with faceted corners and slightly irregular outlines that give each glyph a cutout, handmade feel. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, and curves are often resolved as flattened arcs or angled segments, producing a polygonal rhythm rather than smooth geometry. Counters are small and tightly enclosed, with squared-off apertures and compact interior space that reinforces the dense, punchy color on the page. The lowercase shows a tall, sturdy structure with simplified forms and a consistent, chunky footprint across letters and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact display use such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It also works well for titles in games, comics, or event graphics where a bold, characterful texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, combining a retro poster sensibility with a playful, almost comic roughness. Its angular “chiseled” edges and bouncy irregularity read as informal and energetic rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a distinctive faceted, cut-paper aesthetic, prioritizing personality and silhouette over neutrality. Its consistent block construction suggests a display face built to hold up under large-scale reproduction and to create an immediately recognizable voice.
In text settings the strong silhouette and tight counters create high impact but can look busy at smaller sizes, especially where interior shapes narrow and terminals crowd. The numerals follow the same cut-corner construction, supporting a cohesive headline system.
