A heavy, block-built display face with squared proportions and frequent chamfered corners. Strokes are cut with crisp, angular terminals and small notches that create a chiseled, segmented feel across the alphabet. Counters tend toward rectangular forms, and many letters feature asymmetrical cuts that add a slightly irregular rhythm while keeping a consistent, engineered silhouette. The lowercase mirrors the same geometry, with compact bowls and abrupt joins, producing dense word shapes and strong texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, covers, branding marks, event titles, or game and entertainment UI. It can also work for packaging or merch where a bold, characterful voice is desired, but its dense shapes and decorative cuts suggest using it at larger sizes rather than for extended reading.
The overall tone is quirky and high-impact, combining a retro arcade/poster energy with a mischievous, handmade edge. The sharp notches and clipped corners give it a slightly aggressive, comic intensity that reads as playful rather than formal.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual punch through solid, rectangular massing while adding personality via consistent chiseled cuts and quirky asymmetries. It aims to feel distinctive and memorable in display contexts, evoking retro-futuristic and arcade-like cues without relying on curves or delicate detailing.
The design’s distinct corner treatments and intermittent “bite” cuts become most apparent in longer text, where they create a jittery, animated surface. Numerals share the same squared construction, supporting cohesive headline and labeling use when type and numbers appear together.
