A compact, heavy sans with blocky silhouettes and intentionally uneven geometry. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, but edges are faceted and slightly wobbly, creating a cut-from-paper or hand-carved feel rather than a mechanically perfect build. Counters tend toward small, angular openings, and many curves are expressed as straight segments, producing an overall chiseled rhythm. Uppercase forms read as squat and punchy, while the lowercase keeps a large, sturdy core with minimal delicacy; numerals follow the same chunky, simplified construction for strong visual consistency.
Best suited for display applications where impact and personality matter: posters, headline treatments, branding marks, packaging, and short callouts. It also fits playful editorial or comic-adjacent typography where a rugged, handcrafted texture is desirable.
The font conveys a playful, rough-and-ready tone—bold, mischievous, and a bit scrappy. Its irregular contours suggest handmade signage, comic display lettering, or a “crafted” aesthetic that feels energetic rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a deliberately imperfect, angular construction—prioritizing character and immediacy over refinement. It aims to feel handmade and expressive while remaining broadly sans in structure for quick recognition.
Spacing appears fairly tight and the dense black shapes create strong color on the line, which helps it hold together at display sizes. Distinctive, non-rounded terminals and faceted bowls give it a unique voice, but the compressed apertures and heavy mass can reduce clarity in long passages or at small sizes.
