A compact, heavy display face with tall proportions and sharply carved forms. Strokes alternate between dense, rounded masses and thin, blade-like tapers, creating a lively, cutout rhythm. Many counters are reduced to small teardrop apertures or partially collapsed openings, and several letters feature pronounced notches and wedge terminals that feel chiseled rather than smoothly drawn. The overall texture is dark and punchy, with irregular internal shaping and occasional swashy hooks that keep the silhouette animated from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as headlines, poster titling, book or game cover display, branding marks, and expressive packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where a dark, decorative texture is desirable, but the dense interior shaping favors larger sizes over long text.
The font reads as playful and slightly mischievous, with a theatrical, storybook energy. Its carved details and squeezed, mask-like counters evoke hand-cut signage or stylized fantasy titling, giving text an expressive, characterful voice rather than a neutral one.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, black silhouette with deliberately irregular counter shapes and carved terminals, prioritizing personality and visual impact. By collapsing interior space and emphasizing notches and tapers, it creates a distinctive “solid” cutout look meant for expressive display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent cut-and-scoop logic, with distinctive inner cutouts in rounds (A, O, Q, a, e, o) and angular, tapering joins in diagonals (K, N, V, W, X). Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and cutout treatment, staying bold and decorative while remaining recognizable at display sizes.
