A dense, chunky display face with compact proportions and a strongly silhouetted look. Strokes appear carved from solid blocks, with rounded outer corners and frequent faceted notches that create a hand-cut, chiseled rhythm. Many counters are reduced or fully closed, so letter recognition relies on outer shapes, spur-like cut-ins, and distinctive terminals. The overall texture is heavy and uniform on the line, with irregular edge details and slightly inconsistent widths that reinforce a deliberately rough, sculpted construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark explorations where the silhouette can be appreciated. It performs strongest at larger sizes with generous spacing, where the carved details remain clear and the dense fill becomes a deliberate stylistic statement.
The font feels playful and mischievous, like cut paper or foam letters with a slightly unruly attitude. Its heavy silhouettes and quirky bite-marks give it a cartoon-title energy, leaning more fun and informal than refined or technical.
The design appears intended to mimic bold, solid cut-out lettering—more sculpted shape than drawn line—trading interior clarity for a strong, graphic silhouette. Its purpose is to create immediate visual punch and a memorable, irregular personality in display contexts.
In text settings, the collapsed interiors and tight internal spacing make long passages feel very dark, with word shapes carrying most of the readability. The distinctive nicks and bevel-like cuts add character at large sizes but can visually merge when set small or tightly tracked.
