A condensed, heavy, block-based sans with crisp corners and subtly irregular outlines. Strokes stay essentially monolinear, but widths and angles wobble slightly from letter to letter, creating a hand-cut, poster-like texture. Counters are small and squarish, with occasional punched-in shapes (notably in letters like B, P, R and the numerals), and terminals often finish with blunt, chiseled ends. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, while individual glyphs lean and deform just enough to feel intentionally uneven rather than mechanically geometric.
Best suited to display contexts where texture and personality are desirable: posters, headline systems, bold branding marks, packaging fronts, and event or promotional graphics. It works especially well when set large with generous line spacing to let the irregular contours read as a deliberate stylistic effect.
The font projects a playful, mischievous energy, like cut-paper signage or a vintage comic title. Its off-kilter geometry and chunky presence make it feel bold and characterful, leaning toward fun, retro display rather than neutral utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed display voice with a handmade, cutout irregularity—prioritizing impact and character over strict geometric precision. It aims to evoke retro sign lettering and playful comic-inspired typography while remaining firmly sans in construction.
In the sample text, the dense silhouette stays readable at larger sizes, but the small counters and compressed spacing can make long passages feel busy. Numerals share the same blocky, slightly wavy construction, helping headlines and short callouts feel consistent across letters and numbers.
