A very bold, upright display face built from chunky, angular letterforms with a carved inline that tracks through the strokes. Corners are sharply chamfered and slightly irregular, giving the outlines a hand-cut, faceted look rather than geometric precision. The inline is narrow and uneven in placement, adding visual texture and a pseudo-3D, notched quality to counters and terminals. Proportions are generally compact with broad verticals, and spacing reads intentionally loose and lively, with noticeable width differences across glyphs.
Best suited to short, bold settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging, and logo wordmarks where the carved inline can be appreciated. It can also work for playful branding, merch graphics, and punchy callouts, especially in high-contrast, single-color applications.
The font projects a playful, scrappy energy—like cut paper signage or a DIY poster rendered with a marker and then incised. Its jagged geometry and inner carving create a bold, attention-grabbing tone that feels comic, punk, and slightly retro. The overall rhythm is animated and informal, prioritizing character over polish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum display impact through heavy silhouettes and a signature carved inline, while embracing hand-made irregularity for personality. It aims to evoke cutout lettering and comic signage aesthetics, providing a distinctive texture without relying on shading or color.
The inline detailing remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping unify the set despite the intentionally uneven contouring. Counters tend to be tight and angular, and the face relies on silhouette strength and internal cuts for distinction, which makes it most effective at larger sizes.
