A heavy, inked-in display face with solid counters and a chunky silhouette. Forms are built from rounded masses that are repeatedly interrupted by sharp, chiseled cuts and wedge-like notches, creating a jittery edge profile. The stroke feel is monolithic rather than constructed, with irregular terminals, uneven joins, and a slightly lurching baseline rhythm in text. Spacing and letter shapes vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a hand-made, cutout-like consistency rather than strict geometric regularity.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, cover art, stickers, and expressive logo lockups where the solid shapes can read as graphic forms. It can also work for playful packaging or merch applications, especially at larger sizes where the distinctive notches and cuts remain clear.
The overall tone is loud and mischievous, blending soft, bubbly volume with aggressive, torn-looking corners. It reads like a playful headline voice with a scrappy, street-poster energy—more about impact and character than refinement. The busy silhouette and collapsed interiors push it toward a bold, attention-grabbing attitude.
The design appears intended as a characterful, solid display font that prioritizes bold shape language and an irregular, cut-and-carved texture. By collapsing counters and introducing repeated angular bites, it aims to create a distinctive silhouette that stays readable while feeling intentionally rough and animated.
In continuous text the black area builds quickly, and the irregular edge cuts become the primary texture, producing a lively but dense typographic color. Rounded letters (like O/C) stay largely circular but still pick up small bites and nicks, while straighter letters lean on slabby blocks with abrupt angular breaks.
