Wacky Tuhy 2 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Singo Sans' by Ferry Ardana Putra, 'Aorta' by Gaslight, and 'Metro Block' by Ghozai Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display face with blocky silhouettes and softened, rounded corners. Strokes are largely monolinear with occasional subtle flares and tapering, giving a hand-shaped feel while remaining structurally consistent. Counters are small and often reduced to narrow vertical slots or teardrop-like apertures, and joins tend to form compact, squared masses. Several glyphs show distinctive wedge cuts and stepped terminals that create an irregular rhythm across the line, with tight internal spacing and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, event graphics, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its chunky shapes and eccentric details can be read large. It can also work for playful signage or retro-styled title cards, but is likely too dense for extended body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, blending a vintage poster sensibility with a knowingly odd, cartoonish edge. Its chunky forms and quirky cut-ins give it a confident, attention-grabbing voice that feels more expressive than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while staying fun and unconventional. Its distinctive cut-ins, compact counters, and softened corners suggest a deliberate move toward a one-off, decorative voice for display typography.
The alphabet shows intentional idiosyncrasies between letters (notably in diagonals and bowl constructions), which adds character but makes the texture more animated than uniform. Numerals follow the same compact, slot-counter logic, reading boldly at display sizes while looking dense in long text.
