A heavy, chunky display face with soft, rounded corners and compact counters. The letterforms are built from broad, mostly uniform strokes and squared-off terminals, then “roughed up” with small notches and spur-like nicks that create an intentionally irregular silhouette. Slab-like feet and top bars appear on many glyphs, with occasional asymmetric protrusions that add a hand-cut, stamped feel. Overall spacing and rhythm are tight and dense, favoring impact over delicacy.
This font works best in high-impact display roles such as posters, headlines, and branding marks where its chunky shapes and textured quirks can be read quickly. It’s well suited to playful packaging, event promotion, and any application needing a bold, characterful voice at larger sizes.
The tone is loud and mischievous, with a vintage, cartoon-title energy. Its roughened edges and playful asymmetry give it a scrappy, DIY attitude that reads as humorous and attention-seeking rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence while injecting personality through deliberate irregularities—combining slabby, block construction with rough, notched detailing to feel handmade and fun.
The strongest character comes from the repeated micro-notches along edges and corners, which produce texture even in solid black settings. Numerals match the same blocky, softened construction, keeping the set visually consistent for headlines and short bursts of text.
