A chunky slab-serif display face with soft, rounded exterior corners and pronounced bracketed joins that create a carved, molded look. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline in feel, while internal shaping introduces sharp counter notches and small cut-ins that read like ink traps or stencil-like scoops. The proportions are broad and low-contrast in texture at a distance, with slightly irregular detailing that gives letters a handmade, cutout quality. Numerals are similarly blocky and wide, with squared bowls and compact interior counters.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and logotypes where its chunky slab features can read clearly at medium to large sizes. It also fits packaging and signage that wants a retro, playful punch, especially for short phrases, labels, and title treatments.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, leaning into retro sign-painting and cartoon title-card energy. Its quirky cut-ins and flared slab endings make it feel theatrical and a little rambunctious rather than sober or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, eccentric twist—mixing classic slab-serif signage cues with decorative notches and softened geometry to keep the forms lively and memorable.
In text, the dense rhythm and strong horizontals create a dark, banner-like stripe, while the interior notches keep large sizes from feeling overly blunt. The distinctive terminals and bracketed serifs become the main identifying feature, so spacing and kerning will be most noticeable in all-caps settings.
