A heavy, blocky sans with a distinctive wavy silhouette and softened corners that make each glyph feel slightly sculpted rather than mechanically straight. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, while verticals and horizontals subtly bow in and out, creating a lively rhythm across words. Counters are often small and appear as rounded or slit-like cutouts, sometimes offset within the letterforms, emphasizing a stencil-like, punched-in look. Proportions are broad with compact internal space, and the overall construction favors bold, poster-style shapes over fine detail.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and attitude matter: posters, event titles, album/film headings, packaging accents, and logo wordmarks. It can work for playful branding and themed graphics, but the dense counters and animated edges make it less appropriate for long-form text or small sizes.
The tone is playful and idiosyncratic, with a retro display energy that reads as fun, mischievous, and a bit spooky in a cartoon way. Its wobble and cutout counters give it a hand-carved or rubber-stamp character, lending personality and a slightly surreal, novelty feel in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality through chunky, simplified forms with intentionally irregular edges and cutout counters, prioritizing visual impact and a distinctive word-shape. It aims to feel handcrafted and expressive while staying within a broadly sans, monoline construction.
The type shows a strong black/white patterning: dense outer masses with small interior openings, so letter recognition relies on the silhouette and the placement of counters. In text lines, the uneven edges and varying internal shapes create a pronounced texture that becomes a stylistic feature rather than a neutral reading experience.
