A heavy, block-constructed display face with squared proportions and pronounced, chamfered corners. Strokes are consistently thick, but the outlines are intentionally irregular, with frequent notches, bite-like cut-ins, and chipped-looking edges that create a distressed, hand-cut rhythm. Curves are largely suppressed into octagonal and rectangular forms, producing geometric counters (notably in O, C, and e) and a compact, rugged silhouette. Terminals tend to end bluntly with small angular hooks or fractures, giving the overall texture a jittery, uneven finish while keeping a clear, readable skeleton.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text where texture and character are desirable—posters, headlines, album or event titles, playful packaging, stickers, and bold social graphics. It will read most confidently at medium to large sizes where the notches and chisel details can contribute to the overall flavor rather than crowd the forms.
The tone is mischievous and offbeat—like a comic prop font with a gritty, cut-paper edge. Its quirky damage and angularity add a sense of movement and attitude, balancing a retro arcade/poster energy with a rough, handcrafted bite.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a deliberately imperfect, carved-and-chipped aesthetic. By combining sturdy block shapes with irregular cut-ins and angular corners, it aims to feel energetic, humorous, and distinctive in branding-style scenarios.
The uppercase feels more uniform and sign-like, while the lowercase introduces extra personality through irregular joins and occasional asymmetry. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic and remain visually robust, with distinctive, squared bowls and clipped corners that keep the set cohesive.
