A chunky display face built from heavy, soft-cornered shapes with frequent wedge-like cuts and notches that create an irregular, hand-carved rhythm. Counters tend to be squarish and compact, and many terminals resolve into tapered points or angled slices rather than clean horizontals. The alphabet mixes broad, blocky forms with occasional narrow joins and pinched waists, giving the texture a lively, uneven cadence across words while staying consistently bold and solid.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a bold, humorous voice is needed. It performs well at medium-to-large sizes where the notches and carved details can read clearly, and it can add distinctive character to short taglines or title treatments.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a slightly retro, comic-title energy. Its bouncy proportions and cut-in details read as intentionally oddball and attention-seeking, favoring character over neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic bold, cutout lettering—somewhere between stencil-like carving and cartoon display type—prioritizing expressive silhouettes and a lively rhythm over strict geometric regularity.
Spacing and silhouettes feel deliberately varied from letter to letter, which adds motion and personality in short bursts but can make long passages feel busy. Numerals match the same carved-block logic, with strong interior cutouts and angular incisions that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
