A heavy, angular display face with broadly squared proportions and frequent wedge-like flares at stroke ends. Counters are compact and often rectangular, while curves (notably in O/Q) are simplified into faceted, almost octagonal forms. The rhythm is intentionally uneven: stems, shoulders, and terminals vary in shape and cut, creating a hand-hewn, cut-paper or chiseled silhouette. Lowercase forms stay sturdy and compact with a single-storey a, a pointed/tailed q, and a tall, narrow t; numerals share the same chamfered, notched construction.
Best suited to posters, splashy headlines, and short branded phrases where its quirky texture can be the focal point. It also fits packaging, event flyers, and game or entertainment titling that benefits from a bold, characterful voice.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, mixing a throwback sign-painting vibe with a slightly fantasy, storybook energy. Its irregular terminal cuts and chunky geometry feel intentionally "wobbly" in a controlled way, giving text a humorous, animated presence.
The design appears aimed at delivering an instantly distinctive, decorative voice through faceted geometry and irregular, flared terminals. Rather than neutrality, it prioritizes personality and texture, evoking hand-cut signage or stylized display lettering.
Legibility holds best at larger sizes where the distinctive notches and flares read as character rather than noise. The dense interior spaces and sharp terminals can make long passages feel busy, but they add strong texture and recognizable word shapes in short bursts.
