A chunky, slab-serif display face with compact proportions and heavy, ink-trap-like notches that create a cut-out silhouette. Strokes are broadly uniform but interrupted by deliberate angular bites and chamfered corners, giving the outlines a faceted, carved feel rather than smooth geometry. The serifs read as blunt slabs with uneven terminals, and counters tend toward rounded polygons. Overall rhythm is lively and slightly uneven, with small variations in edge shape that emphasize a handmade, stamped impression.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, and packaging where impact and texture matter. It can also work for bold logos or short phrases that benefit from a rugged, retro-stamped voice, especially when set large with comfortable spacing.
The tone is bold and mischievous, mixing a vintage poster sensibility with a rough, handcrafted edge. Its choppy contours and exaggerated slabs add personality and a hint of grit, making it feel theatrical and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a carved or hand-cut aesthetic, using blunt slabs and notched contours to create texture and motion in the letterforms. Its proportions and detailing prioritize character and recognizability in display use over neutral readability.
In text, the dense silhouettes hold together strongly, while the internal notches and tight apertures can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. It performs best when given space (larger sizes, generous tracking) so the cut details and slab structure stay legible.
