A heavy, block-built sans with compact proportions and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with corners frequently chamfered into angled facets rather than rounded curves. Counters are small and often squared-off, and several letters show asymmetrical cuts, notches, or slight tilts that create a lively, irregular texture in words. Figures and capitals read as sturdy geometric silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains a bouncy baseline feel through varied internal cuts and simplified joins.
Best suited to display roles where impact and character matter—posters, headlines, cover art, playful branding, and packaging. It performs well when set large with comfortable tracking, and when paired with a quieter companion for supporting text.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a retro cartoon energy that feels more hand-shaped than engineered. Its faceted corners and quirky asymmetries suggest informal, attention-grabbing display use rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a quirky, cut-paper geometry—combining sturdy block forms with deliberate irregularities to create a memorable, animated voice.
The font creates strong color on the page with minimal interior whitespace, so spacing and counters can appear tight at smaller sizes. The distinctive, sometimes angular construction gives it a recognizable personality in short headlines, but it can become visually busy in long paragraphs due to its irregular rhythm.
