A heavy, blocky display face with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle counters. Stems and terminals feel slablike and monolithic, but the silhouette is broken up by frequent notches and chamfered corners that create an intentionally irregular, cut-out look. Curves are simplified into chunky arcs, joins are blunt, and spacing reads tight and compact, producing dense word shapes with a strong black footprint.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event headlines, brand marks, product packaging, and sticker-style graphics where texture and personality matter more than extended readability. It works well in large sizes and simple layouts that let the distinctive notched silhouettes carry the design.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, mixing a vintage poster feel with a cartoonish, handmade roughness. Its deliberate nicks and uneven edges add energy and humor, making text feel loud, friendly, and a bit rowdy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a quirky, cut-out personality—combining sturdy block forms with irregular corner bites to create a distinctive novelty voice for display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially squarish and signlike, while lowercase remains equally weighty with minimal modulation, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same chunky, notched construction, helping headlines and short numeric callouts maintain a unified, attention-grabbing presence.
