A heavy, display-oriented sans with broad proportions and sharply carved internal notches that create a stenciled, cut-paper effect. Strokes are mostly straight and geometric, with occasional rounded bowls, and the counters are relatively small, emphasizing mass and solidity. Many glyphs show triangular or wedge-like bite-outs at joins and terminals, producing a rhythmic pattern of breaks and pinched corners across the alphabet. The overall silhouette reads as blocky and condensed in detail despite the generous width, with tight apertures and assertive, flat terminals that keep the texture dense in paragraphs of large text.
Best suited to large-size applications where the carved details can be appreciated: headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for event promotion and short statements where strong texture and personality are desired, rather than extended reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a theatrical, poster-ready energy with a hint of vintage showcard and carnival signage. Its deliberate nicks and cut-ins add motion and tension, making the voice feel bold, playful, and slightly eccentric rather than neutral or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive cut-out motif, offering a decorative alternative to straightforward grotesks while retaining a largely sans skeleton. The consistent notch language suggests a purposeful display construction aimed at eye-catching titling and graphic identity work.
In the sample text, the dense blacks and small counters make spacing and word shapes feel compact and emphatic; the distinctive notches become more prominent as size increases. Numerals follow the same carved, chunky logic, keeping the set visually consistent for headlines and graphic titling.
