A heavy, compact sans with tall lowercase proportions and uneven, hand-formed contours. Strokes are thick with subtly shifting widths, and the outlines feel slightly wobbly, as if cut from paper or stamped, creating a lively texture across a line. Counters are small and often squarish, apertures are tight, and many terminals end in blunt, soft-cornered shapes rather than crisp geometry. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing an intentionally irregular rhythm while keeping a consistent, vertical stance.
Best used at display sizes where its irregular outlines and tight counters can be appreciated without clogging. It works well for posters, playful branding, packaging, album or event titles, and short pull quotes where a bold, handcrafted voice is desired; for long passages, generous size and spacing help preserve clarity.
The font reads as mischievous and energetic, with a craft-made, slightly off-kilter personality. Its bold massing and irregular edges give it a retro novelty feel—more expressive than neutral—suited to attention-grabbing, characterful typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, condensed display voice with a deliberately handmade, imperfect finish. Its variable letter widths and softly distorted geometry prioritize personality and visual punch over strict typographic regularity.
Uppercase forms are compact and blocklike, while lowercase maintains strong presence through tall, sturdy shapes and small counters. Numerals match the same chunky, hand-cut construction, with simplified details and a slightly bouncy baseline impression in longer text.
