A heavy, blocky display face with irregular, hand-cut geometry and softened corners. Strokes are monolinear and extremely weighty, with small or collapsed counters and frequent notches and bite-like cut-ins that create a sculpted silhouette. Letterforms lean on simple, compact shapes (round bowls, slabby stems, and blunt terminals) while allowing noticeable per-glyph variation in widths and internal spacing, producing a bouncy, uneven rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where silhouette carries the message—posters, headlines, packaging, and energetic branding. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or event flyers, but will be most legible at larger sizes where the tight counters and cut-in details remain clear.
The overall tone is playful and slightly mischievous, like cut paper or molded rubber letterforms. Its chunky silhouettes and tight interior spaces give it a bold, poster-like presence with a quirky, cartoonish energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a deliberately irregular, hand-made personality. By compressing counters and introducing small carved details, it prioritizes bold shape and character over conventional typographic regularity, making it a distinctive choice for expressive display typography.
The texture comes from intentional irregularities: asymmetric joins, occasional inward wedges, and varied curvature across similar structures (for example, bowls and diagonals). Numerals match the same chunky, sculpted logic and read as display figures rather than text figures, emphasizing silhouette over interior detail.
