A heavy, compact display sans with block-like forms and pronounced wedge cuts. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with corners often chamfered or notched, creating a slightly "carved" or stencil-adjacent feel without full breaks. Curves are rounded but restrained, and many terminals end in angular slices that give the letters a subtly uneven, hand-shaped rhythm. The overall silhouette is tall and condensed, with tight internal counters that stay readable at larger sizes.
Best suited for display applications where impact matters: posters, headlines, storefront or event signage, bold packaging labels, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, callouts), but the tight counters and strong texture make it less ideal for small sizes or long-form reading.
The font projects a bold, theatrical tone—part vintage poster, part carnival signage—with a friendly roughness that keeps it from feeling corporate. Its notched terminals and chunky proportions add energy and personality, suggesting fun, nostalgia, and attention-grabbing impact rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, using cut-corner details to evoke a vintage, hand-cut sign aesthetic. Its consistent heavy strokes and distinctive notches help create a recognizable voice for branding and attention-grabbing titles.
The uppercase set reads especially strong in headline settings, while the lowercase retains the same cut-corner language and compact spacing, producing a consistent texture in longer lines. Numerals match the heavy, squared-off style and feel designed to hold their own in display copy.
