A compact, extremely heavy display face with a hand-cut, blobby silhouette and deliberately irregular detailing. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with corners frequently beveled or notched, creating a cutout-like rhythm across the alphabet. Many counters are collapsed into solid forms, so letters read as strong silhouettes rather than open shapes; where openings remain, they are small and asymmetrical. Proportions are compressed and tall, with a high x-height and short extenders, producing dense word shapes and a tightly packed texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as posters, cover art, packaging, labels, stickers, and expressive branding moments. It performs most confidently at larger sizes where the distinctive cutout details and silhouette-based letterforms remain clear.
The overall tone is loud, playful, and slightly chaotic—more craft and collage than polished corporate. Its chunky solids and quirky nicks suggest a retro poster or cut-paper aesthetic, giving headlines a bold, cheeky personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through solid, simplified silhouettes and intentional irregularities, prioritizing character and presence over conventional readability. It aims to feel handmade and attention-grabbing, like bold cut lettering used for playful display typography.
In text settings, the weight and reduced interior space make spacing and shapes feel fused, especially in rounded letters and at joins. Numerals follow the same heavy, notched construction, keeping the set visually consistent and punchy at large sizes.
