A condensed, heavy block sans with angular construction and subtly uneven silhouettes. Strokes maintain a uniform weight with minimal modulation, while terminals often flare or taper into wedge-like cuts that create a carved, stencil-adjacent feel. Counters are tight and geometric, and many forms show slight skewed edges and non-parallel verticals, producing a lively, hand-cut rhythm despite the overall rigid structure. The lowercase is compact and tall, with simple, squared bowls and short extenders; numerals follow the same chunky, cut-in style for strong visual continuity.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where its chunky shapes and quirky cuts can read as a deliberate stylistic choice. It works well for posters, album or game titles, bold branding moments, and packaging where a compact, high-impact word shape is desirable.
The overall tone reads bold and assertive with a playful, slightly mischievous edge. Its irregular, cut-paper energy evokes retro display lettering—part industrial sign-painting, part comic or game title—designed to feel loud and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that combines condensed proportions with hand-cut, wedge-terminal detailing to create strong impact and a distinctive texture. It prioritizes memorable shapes and a rhythmic, poster-like color over neutral readability.
Spacing and sidebearings appear intentionally tight, reinforcing the compressed, poster-ready impact. Distinctive wedge terminals and occasional asymmetry give the texture character at larger sizes, while the dense counters suggest it will feel more graphic than texty in long passages.
