A compact, heavy sans with irregular contours and a subtly hand-cut feel. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with flattened joins and slightly angled terminals that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, and many glyphs show small, intentional asymmetries that make the texture feel animated rather than strictly mechanical. The uppercase is tall and condensed, while lowercase forms stay sturdy and compact, producing a dense color on the page.
Best suited for short-form display use such as posters, headlines, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its condensed, punchy shapes can carry personality. It can also work for signage-style applications where a handmade, irregular texture is desirable, but it is less ideal for long passages of small text.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, suggesting handmade signage or cut-paper lettering. Its quirky irregularities give it a friendly, slightly mischievous personality that feels more expressive than neutral, with a hint of retro display energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact sans voice with deliberate irregularities to evoke a handmade, crafted look. Its condensed structure and chunky silhouettes prioritize impact and character over strict typographic neutrality.
The font’s tight spacing and compressed proportions create strong vertical emphasis. Numerals and capitals read as bold silhouettes, while smaller details (like interior counters and notches) can become visually busy at reduced sizes, reinforcing its display-oriented character.
