A heavy, compact display sans with rounded-rectangle construction and subtly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are broad and mostly monolinear, with corners often softened yet punctuated by sharp wedge-like cuts and notches that create a lively rhythm. Counters tend to be squarish and tight, apertures are narrow, and the overall silhouette feels sturdy and slightly bouncy, with small variations in width and stance across letters. Numerals match the same blocky, rounded profile for a consistent headline texture.
Best suited to posters, splashy headlines, branding marks, and packaging where a strong, characterful voice is needed. It works well for entertainment, games, youth-oriented campaigns, and bold editorial callouts, especially when set in short phrases rather than long text.
The tone is bold and mischievous, combining a retro arcade/poster energy with a handmade, cut-paper attitude. Its chunky forms and quirky notches give it a loud, friendly presence that reads as fun rather than formal.
The likely intention is a high-impact display face that riffs on rounded-rect geometry while injecting attitude through sharp cut-ins and slightly uneven proportions. It’s designed to be immediately recognizable and energetic, prioritizing personality and silhouette over neutrality.
The design relies on silhouette and negative-space quirks—pinched joins, angled terminals, and compact counters—to create personality at display sizes. The dense shapes can visually fill in when set too small or tightly spaced, so it benefits from generous sizing and a bit of breathing room.
