A chunky, compact display face with tall, condensed proportions and heavy, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms are built from blocky silhouettes with subtly wavy sides, irregular terminals, and occasional wedge-like notches that create a hand-cut, slightly off-kilter rhythm. Counters are small and sometimes asymmetrical, and the overall texture reads as dense and punchy, with consistent heft but intentionally uneven shaping across glyphs.
Best suited to display settings where personality is the goal—posters, event titles, album or game artwork, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It performs especially well at medium to large sizes, where the quirky cuts and wavy contours can be appreciated without crowding the counters.
The tone is playful and mischievous, evoking a retro poster sensibility with a comic, slightly spooky edge. Its irregularities feel intentional and theatrical, giving text a lively bounce without becoming illegible.
The design appears aimed at delivering instant character through bold, condensed shapes and deliberately irregular detailing, mimicking hand-cut signage or vintage novelty lettering. It prioritizes expressive texture and memorable silhouettes over neutral, continuous reading.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, collage-like feel. Numerals and punctuation match the same chunky, cutout construction, keeping the set visually cohesive in headlines and short bursts of text.
