A heavy, wide display sans with sharply angled terminals and wedge-like cut-ins that create a chiseled, faceted silhouette. Strokes stay mostly monolinear but show subtle flare from the carved joins and inward notches, giving the letterforms a sculpted feel. Curves are broad and slightly squashed, counters are compact, and many glyphs lean on flat tops and strong horizontal weight, producing a buoyant, uneven rhythm. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with intentionally idiosyncratic proportions across characters.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, cover titles, logos/wordmarks, packaging callouts, and event promotions where personality matters more than neutrality. It works well when set large and with generous spacing, and is less ideal for long passages or small UI text due to its dense shapes and quirky rhythm.
The tone is energetic and mischievous, with a cartoonish, retro sensibility that reads as deliberately offbeat rather than formal. Its angular bite and bouncy spacing suggest fun, novelty, and a touch of pulp or arcade-era attitude.
Likely designed as a bold display face that adds instant character through a consistent chiseled, wedge-cut construction. The intention appears to be strong shelf impact and a distinctive voice for playful branding and retro-leaning graphic work.
The font maintains a consistent ‘carved’ vocabulary—pointed terminals, inward scoops, and abrupt angles—across both uppercase and lowercase, which helps it feel cohesive despite its irregularities. Numerals follow the same chunky, cut-out approach, keeping the color strong in headlines but making small-size reading feel busier.
