A compact, rounded sans with heavy, low-contrast strokes and softened corners that keep forms friendly and approachable. Many glyphs feature irregular “bite” or stencil-like cutouts inside counters and strokes, creating a distressed silhouette that’s consistent across the set. The overall texture is bold and graphic, with simple geometry underneath the effects and a steady, upright rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event branding, packaging callouts, and title treatments where the textured cutouts remain clearly visible. It can work well for Halloween or adventure-themed graphics, games, kids’ activities, and promotional signage. For longer copy or small sizes, the interior cutouts may reduce clarity, so it’s strongest as a display face.
This typeface feels playful and slightly mischievous, with a novelty edge that reads as themed rather than neutral. The cutout details introduce a gritty, adventurous tone—suggesting costume, game, or seasonal display—while the heavy weight keeps it loud and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact at a glance while adding character through internal cutouts that break up otherwise solid, rounded shapes. It prioritizes expressive texture and themed personality over neutrality, using consistent distressing to make headlines feel energetic and special-purpose.
The cutouts are most noticeable in round and enclosed forms (such as O/Q and many numerals), giving text a speckled, “punched” look. Numerals and capitals read especially assertive due to the large ink coverage and simplified construction.
