A heavy, right-slanted display face with compact proportions and chunky, geometric construction. Forms are built from blunt strokes with squared corners and occasional clipped or notched terminals that create a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel. Counters are tight and simple, with a consistent, low-detail rhythm; curves are minimized in favor of faceted bowls and angled joins. The overall texture is dense and forceful, with small variations in width and edge treatment adding a deliberately off-kilter personality.
Works best for short, high-impact copy such as posters, punchy headlines, sports or action-themed branding, and bold merchandise graphics like stickers and apparel. It can also serve for playful packaging or event promos where a compact, energetic texture is desirable.
The tone is loud and energetic, suggesting motion and impact like a shout headline or a fast graphic on packaging. Its roughened, cut-corner geometry reads playful and slightly mischievous rather than refined, giving it a wacky, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact footprint, combining a strong slant with blocky, cut-corner details to feel kinetic and unconventional. The slight irregularities seem purposeful, aiming for a spirited, one-off display look rather than a polished text face.
Numbers and capitals carry a particularly strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase maintains the same slanted, blocky logic for a cohesive line of text. The face holds together best at medium-to-large sizes where the notches and clipped terminals become part of the character rather than visual noise.
