A heavy, block-based sans with jagged, chiseled contours and irregular angles that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with frequent bevel-like corners, small notches, and slightly uneven edges that create a lively rhythm across words. Counters tend to be compact and polygonal, and many shapes show subtle width and stance variation from glyph to glyph, producing an intentionally rough, cut-paper silhouette. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a prominent x-height, and the numerals match the same faceted, chunky construction for consistent color in display settings.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headline treatments, packaging titles, and short promotional copy where a bold, handmade edge is desirable. It also works well for entertainment-oriented branding and graphic applications that benefit from a punchy, textured silhouette.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous—part comic, part handmade signage—mixing toughness with humor. Its fractured, angular edges suggest a crafted or cut-out aesthetic, giving text an energetic, slightly rebellious personality rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately rough, angular construction—evoking cut-out lettering or chiseled stencil forms while remaining clearly sans in structure. Its primary goal seems to be personality and presence in display use rather than neutrality for continuous reading.
Texture becomes more noticeable in longer lines, where the irregular cornering and shifting widths create a bouncy, poster-like cadence. The strong black shapes and tight internal spaces favor larger sizes where the faceting reads as intentional detail rather than noise.
