A chunky, display-oriented face built from heavy, sculpted shapes with soft curves and frequent bite-like notches and inward scoops. Strokes stay broadly even in thickness, but the outlines wobble and taper subtly, producing an intentionally uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are small and rounded, and many joins and terminals feel carved or chipped, giving letters a cut-out, hand-formed character. Overall spacing and sidebearings read slightly inconsistent by design, reinforcing the irregular, lively texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, cover titles, branding marks, playful packaging, and event promotions where personality matters more than neutrality. It works especially well at larger sizes where the carved counters and quirky contours can be appreciated.
The font projects a mischievous, humorous tone with a nostalgic, comic sensibility. Its lumpy silhouettes and quirky internal cutouts make it feel handmade and theatrical—more like playful signage or a cartoon title than conventional typography.
The design appears intended to deliver instant character through exaggerated weight, uneven contours, and cut-out details that break typographic regularity. It prioritizes a distinctive, attention-grabbing silhouette and a humorous, handmade feel for display use.
In the sample text the dense black shapes create strong impact, while the distinctive notches and squeezed apertures can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The numerals match the same chunky construction and irregular detailing, helping headlines maintain a consistent, characterful voice.
