A heavy, tilted sans with lively, uneven geometry and a hand-cut feel. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with curved bowls that swell and straight segments that taper, creating a punchy rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while counters stay fairly open; many glyphs lean consistently in a reverse-italic direction, and widths vary from narrow to wide for an animated texture. The overall silhouette mixes rounded forms (O, C, e) with angular joins (K, M, N), producing a bold, poster-like presence.
Best suited to display settings where personality is a feature: posters, headlines, packaging, event promotions, and album or merch graphics. It can work for short subheads or callouts where the irregular rhythm adds charm, but it is less appropriate for dense body text or settings that require a restrained, highly uniform texture.
The font reads as mischievous and energetic, with a deliberately irregular, off-kilter cadence that feels more human than mechanical. Its reverse slant and chunky shapes suggest a retro, cartoon-adjacent tone—confident, informal, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, high-impact sans that feels hand-shaped and animated, combining reverse-italic momentum with contrasted strokes to create a distinctive, memorable voice for branding and display typography.
Lowercase forms are especially expressive, with single-storey shapes and simplified construction that prioritize impact over neutrality. Numerals and uppercase share the same tilted stance and thick presence, helping headlines and short bursts of text feel cohesive.
