A very heavy, slanted display sans with pronounced stroke contrast and a lively, uneven rhythm. Forms are built from chunky masses that taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals, with subtly bowed stems and rounded counters that keep the texture soft despite the weight. Widths and spacing vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a hand-cut, animated feel; circular letters lean toward teardrop and lozenge shapes, and diagonals are broad and assertive. The overall color on the page is dense and black, but the contrast and tapering prevent it from becoming a flat block.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event promos, branding marks, packaging, and playful editorial headlines. It can work for brief bursts of copy in larger sizes where its tapering and quirky rhythm remain legible, but the strong personality and dense weight are likely to dominate in long text.
The font reads as mischievous and upbeat, with a cartoony, vintage-leaning energy. Its irregularities and angled stance suggest motion and informality, making text feel more spoken than set. The punchy weight adds confidence and humor, suited to attention-grabbing, characterful messaging rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, character-driven voice with a handmade, animated flavor, combining heavy strokes with tapered endings to keep forms energetic and expressive. Its variable proportions and lively slant prioritize distinctiveness and motion over strict typographic regularity.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same exuberant, slightly inconsistent construction, with distinctive, exaggerated numerals that echo the tapered, wedge-ended stroke logic. In paragraphs the slant and variable widths create a strong wave-like cadence, so line texture becomes a prominent part of the style.
