A heavy, slab-serif display face with rounded corners, bouncy proportions, and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes are chunky and mostly monolinear in feel, with soft bulges and slightly wobbly contours that give the letters a lively, organic silhouette. An inset cut creates interior openings and carved details that read like punched or routed lines within the black forms, adding texture and a dimensional, sign-painted look. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across characters, reinforcing a casual, poster-like texture in paragraphs and headlines.
Well suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, event flyers, storefront signage, product packaging, and playful branding marks. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where a bold, textured display voice is needed and small-size text legibility is not the primary goal.
The overall tone is upbeat and nostalgic, evoking vintage show posters, carnival signage, and playful retro packaging. Its carved interior detailing adds a crafty, tactile energy—more whimsical than formal—while staying bold and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to mimic classic display lettering—chunky slab forms with an inset carve—capturing the feel of hand-made or woodtype-inspired printing while maintaining strong, readable silhouettes.
The inset detailing is prominent enough to become part of the letter identity, so the face tends to look best when given room to breathe and printed or displayed at sizes where the interior carving remains clear. The numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction and maintain the same lively, slightly irregular texture.
