A wide, slab‑serif display face with a persistent built-in underline that runs beneath most letters and figures, creating a strong baseline stripe. Strokes are sturdy with moderate contrast and mostly square terminals, while key joins are softly bracketed, giving the shapes a slightly old-style, poster-like heft. Counters tend toward round and open (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), and several forms incorporate distinctive quirks—such as the long tail/underscore interaction in Q and the lively, footed lowercase—producing an intentionally non-uniform rhythm. Overall spacing feels generous and the silhouettes read best at larger sizes where the underline and chunky serifs can register clearly.
Best suited to posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and short punchy copy where the built-in underline becomes a graphic device. It can also work for event titles and playful signage, but the strong baseline stripe may feel heavy in long text or tight multi-line settings.
The constant underline and chunky letterforms give the font a mischievous, attention-seeking voice—part retro sign-painting, part comic display. It reads as intentionally oddball and energetic, with a wink of irreverence rather than a formal or restrained tone.
The design appears intended to turn ordinary setting into a graphic statement by baking emphasis (an underline) directly into the letterforms. Its slightly irregular rhythm and bold slab structure suggest a deliberate, one-off display personality aimed at memorable, characterful titles.
The underline behaves like an integral part of the design rather than a text decoration, so it strongly affects word shape and line color. Ascenders and descenders are relatively prominent in the lowercase, and the figures share the same grounded, underlined stance, helping headlines and numerals feel cohesive.
