A heavy, condensed display sans with sharply angular contours and irregular, chiseled terminals. Stems are mostly straight and monoline in feel, with frequent wedge-like notches and cut-ins that create a hand-carved, slightly wavering silhouette. Counters are small and often rectangular, and the overall rhythm is tight with compact spacing and a strong vertical emphasis. Numerals and caps share the same blocky construction, producing a consistent, poster-like texture in text.
This font is best suited to display settings where impact and personality matter: posters, headlines, short titles, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It performs well at larger sizes where the angular notches and compact counters remain clear, and where a dense, high-energy typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, suggesting a DIY, cut-paper or carved-letter aesthetic. Its slightly off-kilter geometry reads as humorous and energetic rather than formal, with a distinctly retro, game-title or novelty-poster flavor.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum visual punch while staying within a simplified sans framework, using chiseled cuts and irregular geometry to inject personality. The design emphasizes immediacy and novelty, aiming for an expressive, attention-grabbing voice rather than neutrality.
The design relies on abrupt angles and asymmetric cuts to add character, which makes long passages feel busy but helps short lines feel animated and distinctive. The lowercase is robust and close in presence to the uppercase, supporting an all-caps or mixed-case display approach.
