A bold display face built from rounded, soft-shouldered forms with frequent crescent cut-outs and sharp, teardrop-like notches that carve into the strokes. Many letters show a consistent offset interior bite that reads like a built-in drop shadow, creating a layered, dimensional silhouette while keeping the outer contour heavy and stable. Curves are generous and circular (notably in O/Q/C/G), while joins and terminals often end in pointed wedges, giving the rhythm a lively, slightly irregular texture. Counters are generally open and legible, but the decorative cut-ins create deliberate breaks and asymmetries that emphasize shape over strict typographic neutrality.
Best suited to large sizes where the cut-out shadow details can be appreciated—posters, display headlines, album or event graphics, packaging, and logo marks. It can work for short bursts of copy or punchy pull quotes, but extended paragraphs will feel busy due to the persistent internal carving.
The overall tone feels vintage and showy, like hand-cut signage or poster lettering with a mischievous edge. The shadowed cut-outs add drama and a sense of motion, making the face read as energetic and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with built-in dimensionality—combining a heavy silhouette with hollowed, offset cut-ins that mimic shadow and hand-cut stencil effects. The aim seems to be instant recognizability and decorative texture while maintaining readable, conventional letter proportions.
In text, the recurring internal cut shapes create a strong patterning effect across words, with distinctive dark/light flicker from the carved areas. Diagonal-heavy letters (V, W, X, Y) become especially graphic due to the wedge notches, and numerals carry the same carved-shadow motif for visual consistency in headlines.
