A heavy, angular display face built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, giving many curves a faceted, near-octagonal construction. Stems are thick and mostly monoline, with sharp terminals and occasional notched joins that suggest a cut or stenciled build. Uppercase forms read compact and blocky, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (single-storey a/e, spiky and hooked details, and a distinctive, angular g), creating an intentionally uneven rhythm. Numerals follow the same hard-edged geometry, with an octagonal 0 and similarly beveled counters.
This font suits attention-grabbing applications such as posters, game and event titles, bold social graphics, packaging, and logo wordmarks where a stylized, angular personality is desired. It can also work for short display copy in branding systems that lean into retro or playful, “hand-cut” geometric aesthetics.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, mixing a retro, arcade-like solidity with hand-cut irregularity. Its jagged corners and quirky lowercase give it a comic, game-title energy rather than a formal or neutral voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a chunky, faceted look that mimics cut lettering or beveled signage, prioritizing character and silhouette over strict regularity. Its deliberately eccentric lowercase and octagonal rounding aim to make text feel energetic, unusual, and instantly recognizable.
The face relies on strong silhouettes and prominent corners, so it performs best when given room—tight tracking or very small sizes may cause interior details (like notches and counters) to merge visually. The distinctiveness between uppercase and lowercase styles is pronounced, which can be used deliberately for texture and emphasis.
