A heavy, block-built sans with angular corners and noticeably irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with broad rectangular counters and frequent stencil-like gaps or notches that create a chiseled, pixel-adjacent feel. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of straight segments, and letterforms vary in width with slight tilts and uneven baselines that give the texture a lively, imperfect rhythm. The numerals and lowercase echo the same chunky construction, keeping a consistent, cutout silhouette across the set.
Best suited to display use where its chunky silhouette and quirky rhythm can be appreciated—posters, punchy headlines, game or arcade-themed graphics, album/merch designs, and bold branding moments. It can work for short bursts of text, but the strong texture and irregular geometry are most effective in titles, labels, and large typographic statements.
The font conveys a playful, rough-edged energy—somewhere between retro game lettering and handmade poster cuts. Its quirky distortions and carved-in voids read as deliberately lo-fi, suggesting humor, motion, and a bit of mischief rather than formality.
The design appears intended as an expressive display sans that prioritizes impact and personality over neutrality, using cutout-like notches and controlled irregularity to evoke a handmade, retro-digital aesthetic.
In paragraph settings the dense black shapes create a strong pattern, while the irregular widths and internal notches add sparkle and prevent the texture from feeling purely industrial. The distinctive counters (often squared and inset) are a defining feature and become more pronounced at larger sizes.
