A heavy, chunky display face built from compact, upright forms with irregular contours and subtly varying letter widths. The strokes are solid and massively weighted, then interrupted by thin internal cut-ins that read like carved inline channels and small voids, creating a distressed, hollowed texture. Terminals are blunt and rounded, counters are tight, and the silhouette feels slightly wobbly—as if stamped, painted, or cut by hand—yet the overall structure stays clear enough for short setting. Numerals match the bold, blocky construction and carry the same internal incisions for consistency.
Best suited to high-impact display uses such as posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging fronts, and album/playlist artwork where the textured inline detail can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads at larger sizes, but the dense weight and internal carving make it less comfortable for long passages or small UI text.
The font projects a loud, mischievous energy with a DIY, poster-made attitude. Its carved-through texture and uneven edges suggest vintage printing, skate/zine graphics, and playful horror or monster-comic titling—more fun than threatening, but intentionally rough around the edges.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through oversized stroke mass and a carved inline texture that breaks up the blackness. It aims to feel handmade and imperfect, evoking printed ephemera and expressive titling rather than neutral, system-like typography.
The inline cut-ins are not uniform; they behave like scratches or gouges that break up large black areas and add movement. In continuous text the texture becomes a strong pattern, so spacing and line length will noticeably affect readability and the perceived density.
