A compact, heavy sans with sharply angular construction and an intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes are monolinear and predominantly vertical, with abrupt corners, chiseled terminals, and occasional diagonal cuts that create a handmade, cut-paper feel. Counters are small and often rectangular, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, slightly off-kilter texture in words and lines. Numerals and capitals keep the same compressed, blocky geometry for a cohesive, poster-like silhouette.
Best suited for display work such as posters, headlines, event titles, game or entertainment branding, and packaging that benefits from a punchy, unconventional voice. It can work well for short bursts of text—badges, labels, or cover lines—where its quirky rhythm becomes an asset rather than a distraction.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, mixing a retro display sensibility with a rough, DIY edge. Its irregularities read as purposeful character rather than distortion, giving text a bold, attention-grabbing voice that feels fun, spooky, or underground depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using angular, hand-cut geometry and deliberate irregularity to stand out in branding and editorial display settings. It prioritizes personality and silhouette-based readability over neutrality for text-heavy use.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tight and visually irregular, which amplifies the jittery, hand-made cadence in longer samples. The design favors strong silhouettes over smooth curves, so shapes tend to read best at larger sizes where the angular detailing and small counters stay clear.
