A heavy, block-built sans with angular geometry and an intentionally irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes stay monolinear while terminals and joints break into sharp facets, giving many letters a slightly skewed, cut-paper silhouette rather than clean orthogonal construction. Counters are small and often squared, spacing is uneven by design, and the lowercase maintains strong presence with compact bowls and short extenders. Numerals match the same chunky, uneven construction, keeping a consistent dark color and a lively, jittery texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short display settings where bold shapes and quirky rhythm can carry the message—posters, headlines, album or game titles, packaging, and attention-grabbing brand marks. It can also work for stickers, merchandise, or editorial callouts where a handcrafted, offbeat voice is desired.
The overall tone feels mischievous and handmade, like lettering cut from stencils or carved from blocks for a poster. Its controlled roughness reads energetic and playful, with a retro-cartoon edge that prioritizes personality over smooth precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, high-impact sans with a deliberately roughened, cut-and-assembled character. It emphasizes distinctive silhouettes and texture for expressive display typography rather than neutral, continuous reading.
The font’s uneven sidebearings and subtly shifting widths create a bouncy baseline impression even while remaining upright. Sharp notches and wedge-like joins add texture at display sizes, while the dense counters and heavy mass can make long passages feel visually busy at smaller sizes.
