A heavy, slanted display sans with chunky, angular construction and visibly uneven contours. Strokes are broadly monolinear and massy, with wedge-like terminals and occasional cut-in notches that create a chiseled, fractured silhouette. Counters are small and squarish, and the overall rhythm is bouncy due to varying widths, slightly shifting verticals, and a mix of straight and subtly bowed edges. The lowercase keeps a tall, compact look with sturdy stems and simple, blocky forms, while figures follow the same faceted geometry for strong tonal consistency.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and splashy short text where its bold, jagged texture can carry the design. It also fits comic-style lettering, playful branding, and packaging that needs an assertive, irreverent voice. For readability, it performs most confidently at medium-to-large sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is loud and mischievous, leaning toward comic-book energy and rough-cut signage. Its skewed, irregular shapes read as energetic and rebellious rather than formal or technical, giving text a punchy, animated cadence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a stylized, hand-cut feel—combining a strong slant, blocky geometry, and irregular detailing to create an energetic display voice. The consistent faceting across letters and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive texture for attention-grabbing titling rather than neutral text setting.
At larger sizes the distinctive notches and angular terminals become a key part of the texture; in longer passages the dense weight and tight internal space can feel dark and busy. The slant is consistent enough to provide forward motion, but the intentionally imperfect edges keep the voice casual and expressive.
