A chunky, angular display sans with squared counters and wedge-like terminals that create a subtly carved, hand-cut feel. Strokes remain largely monolinear, while the outlines show intentional irregularity—slight bulges, inward pinches, and uneven verticals—that give each glyph a lively, non-mechanical rhythm. Proportions vary noticeably from letter to letter, with tight apertures and compact interiors that keep the texture dense on the page. Corners are mostly sharp, and horizontals often end in small triangular notches or flares, reinforcing the cut-paper/woodblock impression.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where strong silhouettes and texture are desirable—posters, event graphics, album art, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work well for game titles or themed UI labels when set at larger sizes and with comfortable tracking to preserve legibility.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, with a retro-fantasy or pulp-poster energy. Its quirky distortions and carved edges feel handmade and expressive rather than neutral, lending a slightly spooky, game-like character without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a handmade, cut-from-block look within a sans framework, prioritizing personality and impact over neutrality. Its irregular shaping and wedge terminals suggest a deliberate move toward vintage or theatrical display typography that remains simple enough to compose quickly.
The alphabet maintains a consistent edge treatment and counter geometry, which helps it read as a cohesive system despite the deliberate unevenness. In text settings the dense letterforms produce a dark, high-impact color, and spacing feels geared toward display sizes where the angular silhouettes can be appreciated.
