A heavy, wide slab-serif with compact counters and an unusual, engraved-like cut running through the lower portion of many glyphs, reading as a built-in shadow/inline slice. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline in feel, with squared terminals and prominent slabs that give a sturdy silhouette. The design mixes rounded bowls with abrupt flats and occasional notched joins, creating a deliberately irregular rhythm while remaining highly legible at display sizes. Figures are similarly weighty and blocky, matching the letterforms’ strong, poster-like presence.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its sliced detail can be appreciated—posters, event flyers, playful packaging, and bold logo wordmarks. It can also work for merchandise graphics and social media titles, especially when a quirky, retro-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is wacky and attention-seeking, with a humorous, slightly vintage showcard energy. The consistent “sliced” detail across the set adds a mischievous, handmade-toy feel that reads as decorative rather than formal. It suggests novelty signage and playful branding where character matters as much as readability.
The font appears designed to turn a familiar slab-serif foundation into a one-off novelty display by adding a consistent lower inline cut and intentionally uneven, characterful shaping. The goal is strong impact and immediate personality while keeping letterforms recognizable for quick reading.
The inline cut sits close to the baseline and interacts with slabs and curves in different ways from glyph to glyph, producing a distinctive underlined/etched illusion in running text. The spacing appears generous and the proportions feel expanded, reinforcing a billboard-like footprint even in short phrases.
