A heavy slab-serif design with broad proportions, flattened curves, and chunky terminals. Strokes are mostly monoline but show clear cut-ins and counters that create a higher-contrast feel through negative space rather than thin hairlines. Serifs are blocky and bracketless, often with squared ends and occasional notches that suggest a stencil or cutout construction. Rounded letters (O, C, G) have squarish, softened contours, while many joins and inner corners show small bites/ink-trap-like cavities that give the texture a mechanically punched rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where the cut-in details and slab terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and themed signage. It can work for short bursts of text, but its dense color and decorative notches make it most effective when used sparingly for emphasis.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing old poster energy with an offbeat, toy-like charm. Its notched details and oversized slabs read as intentionally eccentric, lending a slightly mischievous, attention-grabbing voice that feels at home in retro or themed settings.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a slab-serif poster tradition with unconventional cutout and notched constructions, prioritizing impact and personality over neutrality. It aims for a distinctive, memorable silhouette that remains sturdy and legible while adding a quirky, crafted texture.
Uppercase forms feel especially emblematic and sign-like, with simplified geometry and prominent serifs. Lowercase retains the same heavy construction, with single-storey a and g and compact, dark counters that keep color dense in text. Numerals are large and rounded with flat segments, matching the font’s squared-off curves and cutout styling.
