A heavy, right-leaning display face with compact counters and chunky, sculpted letterforms. Strokes are thick and assertive, punctuated by sharp wedge cuts and exaggerated slab-like terminals that feel carved rather than drawn. Curves are swollen and slightly uneven, with occasional triangular notches and flares that create a lively, stop-start rhythm across words. The lowercase shares the same chunky construction, with single-storey forms and simplified joins that keep silhouettes bold and graphic.
Well-suited for posters, event graphics, and attention-grabbing headlines where a bold, characterful voice is desired. It can add personality to packaging and branding for playful or nostalgic themes, and works especially well for comedic, arcade, or novelty-forward titling.
The overall tone is mischievous and loud, with a tongue-in-cheek, retro showcard energy. Its angled stance and chiseled terminals give it a brash, kinetic personality that reads more like a headline voice than a neutral text tool.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through exaggerated weight, slanted momentum, and carved-looking terminals, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes over restraint. Its irregular details and bouncy rhythm suggest a display-first approach built to stand out in short phrases and logos.
The font’s distinctive internal cut-ins and tapered slab terminals create strong word shapes but can make small sizes feel busy. It performs best when given generous spacing and used where the irregular details can be appreciated.
