A heavy, block-built sans with angular, chiseled contours and intentionally irregular geometry. Letterforms are mostly rectangular with sharp corners, occasional wedge cuts, and small squared counters that read like punched holes. Strokes stay visually even, but edges subtly wobble and tilt, producing a hand-cut, collaged rhythm rather than a rigid grid. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, and several diagonals (notably in K, N, V, W, X, Y) are expressed as chunky facets rather than smooth joins.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouette and personality matter: posters, splashy headlines, branding marks, game or arcade-themed interfaces, and bold packaging. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes), but the dense counters and lively irregularity make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, combining a toy-like blockiness with a slightly gritty, cut-paper attitude. It suggests arcade energy and DIY poster making—attention-grabbing, informal, and a bit chaotic in a controlled way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, hand-cut block aesthetic—merging simple sans construction with carved-in notches and uneven alignment to create character and motion. It prioritizes recognizable shapes and a playful texture over strict typographic regularity.
The small, boxy counters and frequent notches can begin to fill in at smaller sizes, while the varied widths and tilted verticals create a lively, uneven texture in longer lines. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent construction, with the lowercase maintaining the same chunky, squared-off personality rather than becoming more calligraphic or delicate.
