A blocky, angular sans with sharp corners and subtly irregular stroke edges that create a hand-cut, chiseled impression. Stems and bowls often show slight flare and wedge-like terminals, while counters stay fairly compact and geometric, lending strong silhouette clarity. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with a lively, uneven rhythm across widths and sidebearings that reads intentional rather than accidental. The lowercase features simple, sturdy forms (single-story a, open e), and the numerals echo the same cut-out geometry with squared counters and assertive verticals.
Best suited to display roles where personality and impact matter—posters, headlines, packaging, and title treatments. It can work well for themed materials such as games, events, seasonal promos, or editorial pull quotes where a crafted, angular texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels energetic and theatrical, with a playful roughness that suggests craft, collage, or poster-cut lettering. Its angular swagger and irregular cadence evoke retro display typography, leaning toward spooky, carnival, or fantasy-adjacent moods without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, hand-shaped display voice using geometric building blocks and deliberate irregularities to avoid a sterile constructed look. It prioritizes silhouette punch and thematic texture over smooth, continuous reading color.
The font’s identity comes through most in its terminal treatment: many strokes end in crisp wedges or slightly concave cuts, which adds motion and attitude in text lines. In longer settings the texture is intentionally lumpy, making it more suited to short bursts than calm reading.
