A heavy, block-driven sans with irregular, hand-cut contours and softly pinched sides that make many strokes feel slightly waisted. Terminals often resolve into angular wedges and notched corners, creating a carved, stencil-like rhythm without true breaks. Counters are small and frequently asymmetric, and several letters show distinctive triangular bite-outs that add texture to the dark mass. Overall spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, giving the line a lively, uneven cadence while keeping an upright, compact silhouette.
Best suited for short, large-size applications such as headlines, posters, display branding, packaging callouts, and event titles where its sculpted forms can be appreciated. It can work for brief blocks of text when set generously, but it is primarily a display face that benefits from ample size and spacing.
The font reads as playful and mischievous, with a retro novelty flavor reminiscent of cut-paper signage and cartoon title lettering. Its chunky shapes and quirky interior cutouts create a bold, attention-grabbing voice that feels energetic rather than formal.
Likely designed as an expressive display sans that prioritizes personality and silhouette over neutrality, using irregular carved details and variable widths to create a handmade, novelty sign aesthetic with strong visual punch.
In text, the strong black shapes dominate, so internal apertures and distinctive notches do much of the legibility work. The irregular sidewalls and wedge-like joins create a consistent “carved” motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals, which helps it feel cohesive even with variable widths.
