A heavy, compact sans with chunky, faceted contours and a hand-cut feel. Strokes stay broadly uniform, but edges are sharply angled and slightly irregular, creating a chiseled silhouette across letters and figures. Counters are tight and often polygonal, terminals are blunt, and many joins form noticeable wedges, giving the design a crisp, cut-paper rhythm. The overall spacing reads dense and poster-like, with small internal apertures that emphasize mass and shape over fine detail.
Best used at medium to large sizes where the angular details and irregular cuts can read clearly. It works well for posters, stickers, game/arcade graphics, event branding, and packaging that benefits from a bold, playful impact. For longer text or small UI sizes, the tight counters and dense texture may reduce readability.
The font projects a loud, mischievous energy—more comic and arcade-like than corporate. Its jagged geometry and uneven, handmade finish add grit and personality, suggesting motion and attitude rather than precision. The tone feels retro and attention-seeking, suited to punchy headlines and display moments.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that replaces smooth curves with carved, polygonal shapes to create a handmade, retro-graphic voice. Its consistent weight and compact proportions aim to maximize black area and visual punch while keeping letterforms recognizable.
Round forms like O/0 and 8 appear squarish and octagonal, reinforcing the faceted theme. Many lowercase letters keep simplified, block-like structures with short ascenders/descenders, which helps maintain a consistent, compact texture in words. Numerals match the same chunky construction for cohesive titling and score-style uses.
