A condensed, block-built sans with sharply angular outlines and a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Stems and bowls are predominantly straight-sided with minimal curvature, producing chiseled counters and squared apertures. Many glyphs show subtle side-to-side wobble and inconsistent widths, creating an intentionally uneven texture while maintaining a consistent stroke mass. Numerals and capitals read as tall, compact silhouettes with tight interior spaces and abrupt terminals.
Best suited for short, high-impact display typography such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where a handmade, edgy tone is wanted. It can also add character to titles for games, comics, and event promotions, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, with a cut-paper or marker-block feel that suggests spontaneity rather than precision. Its skewed geometry and compressed proportions give it a cartoonish, poster-forward attitude that can feel retro, offbeat, and a little punk.
The design appears intended to deliver a loud, condensed display voice with a deliberately imperfect, cut-from-paper construction. It prioritizes character and punch over neutrality, using angular forms and irregular widths to create a distinctive, animated texture in text.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and high impact at display sizes, while the tight counters and jagged joins can become visually busy as sizes get smaller or lines get dense. The irregular widths and quirky construction are a core part of the personality, so it works best when that unevenness is desirable rather than distracting.
