A chunky, display-oriented sans with heavy, blocky silhouettes and irregular, wedge-cut shaping throughout. Strokes show abrupt angles and faceted corners rather than smooth curves, with frequent diagonal cuts that create a chiseled, slightly warped rhythm. Counters are compact and often polygonal, terminals tend to end in blunt or angled slices, and overall spacing feels lively and uneven in a controlled way. Numerals and capitals carry a strong poster weight, while the lowercase maintains a similarly bold, compact presence with distinctive, sculpted forms.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, logos, and bold packaging moments where its sculpted texture can be appreciated. It works well when you want a loud graphic voice and clear silhouette recognition, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is loud and mischievous, reading as playful and slightly chaotic rather than strict or technical. Its bouncy, carved shapes suggest a handmade or cut-paper sensibility with a retro cartoon energy that’s designed to grab attention and entertain.
The design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display sans that injects humor and motion through faceted cuts and irregular geometry while retaining solid, readable letter blocks. It prioritizes personality and visual rhythm over quiet text performance.
The font’s personality comes from consistent angular truncations and shifting internal shapes, which create a distinctive texture in lines of text. In paragraph-like settings the dense weight and animated contours become the primary visual feature, favoring impact over neutrality.
