A compact, heavy sans with a blocky, angular construction and subtly uneven widths across glyphs. Strokes are predominantly straight with sharp corners and frequent internal cut-ins that create small triangular and rectangular notches, giving several letters a carved or stencil-like feel. Counters are tight and geometric, and many glyphs show slight asymmetries and leaning cuts that add a hand-made, cut-paper rhythm. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with a normal-height x-height impression, while numerals are similarly chunky and squared, maintaining a consistent, tightly packed texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, signage, and packaging where its dense, cut-out shapes can read as a graphic element. It also works well for entertainment-oriented contexts—game titles, event promos, and album artwork—where a playful, offbeat voice is desired.
The overall tone is quirky and energetic, with a mischievous, retro-cartoon edge. Its irregular cuts and compact density feel handcrafted rather than strictly engineered, producing a lively, slightly chaotic voice that reads as fun and attention-seeking rather than formal.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that borrows from cut-paper or carved signage aesthetics. Its purpose seems to be creating immediate visual punch and a distinctive silhouette, prioritizing personality and texture over neutral readability in long text.
The face creates a strong dark color on the page and holds together well as a display texture, but the tight apertures and internal notches make it visually busy at smaller sizes. The uppercase has a poster-like presence, and punctuation appears in the sample text with the same sharp, cut-out character.
