A heavy, block-built sans with faceted outlines and deliberately uneven geometry. Strokes stay broadly monolinear, but edges kink and plane off into short diagonals, giving many letters a chiseled, cut-paper feel. Counters are small and squarish, apertures tend to pinch, and joins often form sharp notches rather than smooth curves. The rhythm is bouncy and slightly inconsistent in sidebearings and silhouettes, producing an intentionally rough, hand-cut texture while remaining strongly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, bold messaging where texture and personality matter: posters, event flyers, cover art, game/UI titles, and playful packaging. It can work for brief emphasis lines or pull quotes, but the dense counters and jagged edges make it less comfortable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, like lettering cut from cardboard for a poster or a comic title. Its exaggerated weight and jagged facets read as energetic and a bit chaotic, leaning toward humor and kid-friendly impact rather than refinement or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a handmade, cut-out aesthetic—prioritizing character, humor, and immediacy over smooth typographic regularity. Its angular facets and compact counters suggest it was drawn to look rugged and graphic in large display settings.
Round letters (like O, Q, and 0) are rendered as squarish, multi-angled forms, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) appear as thick wedges with abrupt direction changes. The lowercase maintains the same chunky construction, with single-storey forms and tight internal spaces that darken text color quickly in paragraphs.
