A heavy, compact sans with sharply angular, faceted outlines and noticeably irregular sidebearings that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, while counters are small and often cut as angular apertures or notches rather than smooth interior bowls. The geometry feels hand-cut and slightly distorted—verticals and diagonals wobble subtly, corners are abrupt, and many joins form wedge-like intersections that read as carved shapes rather than drawn curves.
Best used for display settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and packaging where its chunky, angular forms can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for short, punchy statements in event flyers, album art, or game/entertainment graphics where character and texture are more important than sustained readability.
The overall tone is mischievous and high-energy, with a DIY, cut-paper or woodblock flavor that reads more expressive than functional. Its jagged silhouettes and compact black mass give it a bold, poster-like attitude that can feel comic, spooky, or punk depending on color and setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, attention-grabbing display voice with a deliberately irregular, hand-cut construction. It prioritizes bold shape identity and a gritty, crafted texture over typographic neutrality, aiming to inject personality into titles and branding.
Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, which emphasizes texture over uniformity. In longer text the dense color and small counters can reduce clarity, while in short lines the distinctive silhouettes remain highly recognizable.
