A heavy, block-built sans with faceted, chiseled-looking outlines and subtly irregular geometry. Strokes stay largely uniform, with sharp corners, clipped terminals, and occasional notches and cut-ins that give counters a carved, polygonal feel. Proportions are generous and compact at once—wide letterforms with short extenders—while spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, hand-cut rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky construction, with simplified shapes and high fill that favors impact over fine detail.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, game or event titles, playful packaging, and bold logo wordmarks. It works well when you want quick, high-impact shapes with a hand-made edge; for longer text, it benefits from larger sizes, looser tracking, and generous leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is boisterous and mischievous, like a poster font made from cut paper or rough carving. Its uneven, angular energy reads as fun and informal, with a slightly spooky or arcade-like edge depending on color and context. The texture feels intentionally imperfect, prioritizing personality and punch.
The design appears intended to deliver an attention-grabbing, characterful sans that feels hand-cut or carved rather than mechanically precise. Its faceted contours and slightly inconsistent widths suggest a deliberate move toward a lively, DIY texture while maintaining strong, readable silhouettes.
The all-caps impression is especially strong: capitals look more stable and sign-like, while lowercase forms keep the same blocky logic and can appear nearly small-cap in spirit. Tight internal apertures and dense counters suggest using it at larger sizes or with ample line spacing when set in paragraphs.
