A condensed, heavy display face with sharp, wedge-like terminals and irregular, chiseled contours. Strokes are predominantly straight and faceted, with abrupt angles, notches, and small internal cut-ins that give each letter a carved, slightly distressed silhouette. The forms keep an upright stance and a consistent, blocky rhythm, while individual glyphs vary in width and detailing, creating a jittery, hand-cut feel. Counters are compact and often angular, and the lowercase follows the same assertive, slabby structure with minimal roundness.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where its carved, irregular detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for game titles, event promos, and themed graphics that benefit from a quirky, slightly menacing display style.
The overall tone is wacky and theatrical, mixing a vintage poster energy with a mischievous, off-kilter edge. Its sharp corners and uneven bite marks read as playful menace rather than refined elegance, making it feel bold, rowdy, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality through aggressive wedges, faceted strokes, and uneven detailing, prioritizing graphic impact over neutrality. Its consistent upright structure keeps it readable for display, while the irregular cut-ins and variable widths add a deliberately eccentric, handcrafted flavor.
At text sizes the dense color and tight counters can close up, while the distinctive notches and wedge serifs become clearer and more expressive at larger settings. The numeral set matches the same angular, cut-from-paper character, maintaining a consistent decorative voice across letters and figures.
