A condensed, all-caps-friendly display face built from thick, uneven outer contours with carved-out interiors. Strokes read as high-contrast due to the prominent outline and the lighter inner counters, producing an inverted, hollowed look where the black mass sits mostly at the edges. Letterforms are upright with a tall x-height, slightly variable widths, and softly squared shapes that wobble as if drawn with a marker or cut from rubber. Corners are blunt and rounded, counters are small and often off-center, and terminals show subtle kinks and dents that reinforce the handmade texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, logos, packaging, and event flyers where the outlined, hollow interiors can be appreciated. It can also work for playful signage or branded pull quotes, but will be most legible and characterful at display sizes rather than long-form text.
The overall tone is playful and a little eerie—like a cartoon horror title or a DIY poster headline. The irregular outlines and chunky silhouettes give it a loud, cheeky energy, while the hollowed interiors add a cutout, stencil-like drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-rendered display voice with an inverted outline-and-counter construction that reads like carved or stamped lettering. Its narrow build and tall lowercase aim for compact, headline-friendly setting while the irregular contours keep the tone informal and attention-grabbing.
Texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with a deliberate roughness that becomes more visible at larger sizes. The design favors bold silhouettes and distinctive counters over strict geometric symmetry, keeping rhythm lively in words and short lines.
