A very heavy, blocky display face built from irregular, angular shapes with a carved inline running through the strokes. Letterforms lean on squared counters and faceted corners, with slightly uneven outlines that suggest hand-cut or marker-drawn construction. The inline cutouts vary subtly in placement and thickness, creating a lively rhythm and a rough-hewn texture across words. Terminals are blunt and geometric, and the overall silhouette is dense while remaining visually perforated by the internal linework.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging accents, and short promotional lines where its bold silhouettes and carved inline can be appreciated. It also fits music and entertainment graphics, editorial callouts, and playful branding moments, but is less ideal for long text or small UI sizes where the internal cutouts may close up.
The font reads mischievous and energetic, with a quirky, slightly chaotic attitude. Its chiseled inline detail adds a crafty, zine-like edge that feels playful rather than refined, lending a sense of motion and punch to short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through chunky, geometric letterforms while adding character via an irregular, hand-crafted outline and an internal inline carve. The goal seems to be a lively display voice that feels homemade and attention-grabbing rather than polished or neutral.
The irregularity in stroke edges and the shifting inline details give each glyph a hand-made character, while consistent geometric construction keeps the set cohesive. Counters are often boxy and tight, so the face benefits from generous spacing and sizes where the inline carving remains clear.
