A bold, boxy display face with mixed widths and tightly packed counters, built from heavy, upright forms. Each glyph carries a carved interior channel and irregular notches that read like cut paper or a stamped impression, creating strong black/white interplay. The outlines are mostly squared with occasional rounded corners, and the interior carving is not perfectly centered or uniform, giving the alphabet a deliberately distressed, assembled feel. Stroke endings tend toward blunt terminals, and the overall spacing and rhythm feel compact and blocklike, especially in capitals and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where the carved interior detail can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, and cover art. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, labels) when set with generous size and spacing, but the irregular interior cuts may feel busy in small, dense paragraphs.
The font projects a playful, slightly chaotic energy—like a retro poster alphabet assembled from blocks. Its rough internal cut lines and clipped edges add a mischievous, handcrafted tone that feels more expressive than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic a bold block alphabet that has been cut, stamped, or distressed, using interior carving and edge breaks to add character and movement. The variable widths and intentionally inconsistent internal shaping suggest an aim for energetic, handcrafted personality over strict uniformity.
Texture is integral to legibility: the interior carving and small breaks create an animated surface that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Some glyphs show pronounced asymmetry and varying internal shapes, which reinforces a collage/stamp aesthetic and gives lines of text a lively, uneven cadence.
