A heavy, block-built sans with broad proportions and a tall lowercase that keeps counters relatively small. Strokes are mostly monolinear, but the outlines are intentionally irregular: corners are clipped, shoulders lean, and many terminals end in blunt, slightly angled cuts that create a carved, poster-like silhouette. Curves are compact and squared-off, giving rounded letters (like O/C/S) a boxy, pinched feel, while verticals often show subtle wobble that adds hand-drawn energy. Spacing feels tight and dense, producing strong word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale display typography where its sculpted edges and dense color can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for short, punchy phrases in social graphics or signage, while longer text blocks may feel visually heavy.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, with a lively, slightly chaotic rhythm that suggests cartoon titles, novelty packaging, or retro signage. Its uneven edges and chunky forms read as informal and attention-grabbing rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a bold, hand-cut personality—combining a straightforward sans skeleton with deliberately irregular, chiseled outlines to create a distinctive, high-energy display voice.
Distinctive notches, wedge-like joins, and asymmetrical cuts appear throughout, creating a consistent “chopped” texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The numerals match the same chunky construction, with simplified interior shapes and blunt terminals that maintain a cohesive, poster-forward color on the page.
