A heavy, compact sans with blocky, angular construction and slightly irregular geometry. Strokes maintain a consistently dark color while edges and corners show subtle tilts and off-square cuts that create a hand-cut, poster-like texture. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, and several glyphs show asymmetric joints and notches that introduce a lively, uneven rhythm across words. Overall spacing feels tight and vertical, producing dense, punchy lines in display settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact display typography such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and event flyers where its chunky silhouettes and quirky rhythm can be appreciated. It can work for subheads or brief callouts, but the dense forms and lively irregularities are less comfortable for sustained reading at small sizes.
The tone is playful and mischievous, with a comic, retro energy that reads as loud and attention-grabbing. Its deliberate wonkiness and chunky silhouettes give it a DIY, cut-paper feel, suggesting humor, action, or spooky-fun themes rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, hand-cut block aesthetic—combining compact proportions with intentionally imperfect angles to create personality and motion. It prioritizes character and thematic flavor over neutral text economy.
Distinctive, squared counters and occasional interior cut-ins add character while keeping the shapes broadly legible at larger sizes. The texture becomes more apparent in longer text lines, where the small directional quirks in stems and terminals create a bouncy baseline rhythm.
