A heavy, upright display serif with softly swollen stems, rounded terminals, and a slightly uneven, hand-cut rhythm. Letterforms are compact with sturdy slab-like serifs and gently flared joins, while the overall texture stays dark and poster-ready. Distinctive interior knockouts and irregular cut-ins appear across many glyphs, creating a hollowed, carved look that reads like inked stamping or cut paper. Counters are generally small and the spacing feels lively, with subtle width variation across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, headlines, event branding, packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks where the hollowed detailing can remain legible. It can also add personality to titles and pull quotes, especially in retro, carnival, or Halloween-adjacent themes.
The irregular internal cutouts and bulbous serifs give the face a theatrical, mischievous tone—equal parts retro show poster and playful “spooky” novelty. It feels crafted rather than engineered, with a whimsical bounce that adds character and a slightly eerie edge in longer settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display presence with a crafted, cutout aesthetic—combining traditional serif structures with irregular internal knockouts to create a distinctive stamped or carved texture.
The font’s visual identity relies on its internal knockouts, so it performs best when those details have room to show; at smaller sizes the cut-ins can visually merge into the fill. Numerals follow the same chunky, decorative logic as the letters, maintaining a consistent stamped texture across the set.
