A heavy, compact sans with chunky strokes and largely monoline construction. Curves are interpreted as rounded-rect and superellipse-like forms, frequently cut with faceted, chamfered corners that create an octagonal rhythm in bowls and counters. The glyphs have a tight, sturdy stance with broad terminals and minimal interior detailing, producing dark, even texture in text. Numerals and capitals read as geometric and sign-like, with consistent corner treatment and slightly irregular, hand-cut energy across joins and diagonals.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its chunky, faceted forms can be appreciated. It also works well for short UI labels or game/title screens when used at larger sizes. For paragraphs, it’s more effective in brief bursts (pull quotes, callouts) than extended reading due to its dense texture and compact counters.
The overall tone is bold and spirited, evoking a retro display sensibility with a handmade, cut-paper or stencil-adjacent attitude. Its faceted geometry feels industrial and game-like, while the rounded-rectangle curves keep it friendly rather than severe. The result is attention-grabbing and characterful, prioritizing personality over refinement.
This font appears designed to deliver a strong, immediately recognizable voice through geometric, rounded-rectangle construction paired with clipped, angular corners. The intention seems to be a sturdy, high-impact display style that feels both friendly and mechanical, optimized for bold shapes, simple forms, and consistent corner logic across glyphs.
The design relies on strong silhouette recognition: counters are small and often polygonal, and many curves resolve into clipped corners that create a distinctive, repetitive motif across the alphabet. In longer lines, the weight produces a dense color, so generous tracking and leading can help maintain clarity at smaller sizes.
