A heavy, blocky sans with broad proportions, softly rounded corners, and a distinctly carved interior treatment that breaks up the solid black mass. Strokes are largely uniform and geometric, with simple, sturdy construction and clear counters; the inline-like cutouts and scattered speckling create a textured, “printed” surface rather than a perfectly flat fill. Curves are generous (notably in C, G, O, S), joins are blunt and confident, and the overall rhythm stays steady across caps, lowercase, and figures, prioritizing impact over fine detail.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and bold brand marks where the carved detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for playful packaging, labels, and merchandise-style applications that benefit from a tactile, printed texture.
The font reads as bold and friendly with a throwback, poster-like energy. Its cutout detailing and speckled finish add a handmade, screen-printed character that feels lively and informal, leaning toward fun, approachable messaging rather than serious or corporate tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly, geometric base, while the carved inline and speckled texture add personality and a crafted, print-inspired finish. It’s built to stand out in short phrases and titles, offering a decorative twist without sacrificing the basic readability of a sturdy sans structure.
The interior carving and speckle pattern reduce the visual heaviness and add motion at display sizes, but the fine white cuts and texture can visually fill in when used too small or on busy backgrounds. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same chunky, rounded voice as the capitals, supporting consistent typographic color in headlines.
