A bold, display-oriented serif with wide proportions and irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes appear partially hollowed with uneven internal knockouts, creating an outline-and-cutout effect that varies from glyph to glyph. Serifs are blocky and bracketed in spirit but rendered with wobbly edges and softened corners, giving the letterforms a distressed, printed-from-a-worn-block feel. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, terminals are blunt, and overall spacing reads open and sturdy, supporting large-size use where the cutout details remain visible.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where its hollowed details and rough texture can read clearly. It can also work for event branding, rustic signage, and short editorial callouts that benefit from a vintage, handcrafted feel.
The font carries a vintage, handmade tone—equal parts old-time poster and playful craft. Its imperfect edges and carved-out interiors suggest a tactile process, lending warmth and character rather than precision. The overall impression is quirky and slightly rugged, with a theatrical, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-carved or worn letterpress typography through irregular edges and deliberate interior cutouts, prioritizing character and texture over clean neutrality. Its wide stance and high visual activity aim to create immediate impact in large-format text.
Consistency is maintained through recurring hollowed interior cuts and chunky serif structure, but the exact placement and shape of the knockouts feel intentionally irregular, adding visual noise and personality. The numerals and lowercase inherit the same cutout treatment, keeping the texture cohesive across the set.
