A heavy, block-built slab serif with strongly squared terminals and wide, rectangular counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, with crisp right angles and minimal curvature, giving the letterforms a carved, modular feel. Many glyphs show deliberate irregularities—slight tilts, asymmetric shoulders, and subtly uneven edges—that create a hand-cut rhythm while maintaining consistent mass and strong figure/ground separation.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and storefront-style signage where its weight and squared slabs can hold attention. It can also work for branding and logo wordmarks that benefit from a bold, handcrafted, slightly eccentric voice; extended body text would typically feel dense and busy.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, blending a vintage poster sensibility with a playful, off-kilter personality. Its chunky geometry and intentional roughness suggest handmade signage and cut-paper or woodblock influences, delivering impact with character rather than polish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a hand-made, cut-block aesthetic—combining sturdy slab forms with purposeful irregularity to feel energetic and distinctive in display typography.
The squared bowls and tight apertures keep shapes sturdy at display sizes, while the quirky deviations add texture across lines of text. Numerals and capitals read particularly assertive due to their broad slabs and compact interior spaces.
