A compact, narrow sans with a heavy, inked presence and lively irregularity. Strokes are thick and generally consistent, but terminals are frequently cut on diagonals, creating wedge-like ends and a hand-sheared look. Curves (C, O, S) are slightly lopsided and tightened, while straight stems lean into subtle, uneven geometry that keeps the rhythm from feeling mechanical. Counters are modest and sometimes pinched, and the overall silhouette reads dark and punchy at display sizes, with distinctive, idiosyncratic letterfit from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to short display settings where its angular terminals and uneven rhythm can be appreciated—posters, headlines, titles, and packaging accents. It can work for informal branding or logo explorations that want a distinctive, hand-crafted sans flavor, but the dense color and quirky forms make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The font conveys a mischievous, comic energy—like hand-painted signage or cut-paper lettering with a bit of swagger. Its sharp terminals and bouncy proportions give it a personable, informal tone that feels more expressive than neutral, with a retro-cartoon edge.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, characterful sans voice that avoids sterile geometry by introducing hand-cut angles, small asymmetries, and a lively cadence. It prioritizes personality and instant recognition over strict regularity, aiming for an expressive display tool with strong visual bite.
Uppercase shapes are especially stylized (notably A, J, Q, and W) with dramatic angled cuts and asymmetries that become part of the identity. Numerals follow the same chiseled-terminal logic, staying bold and legible while maintaining the quirky, handmade cadence in text settings.
