A heavy, rounded display face with wide proportions and a strongly sculpted silhouette. Strokes are monolinear-to-gently modulated, but the main character comes from repeated cut-in shapes: many letters feature horizontal slits, teardrop/eye-like counters, and notched joins that create a carved, stencil-ish feel without breaking the forms apart. Terminals are soft and blunted, bowls are inflated, and several joins flare into pointed wedges, giving the alphabet a rhythmic pattern of bulges and scoops. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with tight internal spaces and distinctive counters that remain readable at display sizes.
Best suited to posters, splashy headlines, event graphics, and logo wordmarks where the distinctive cut-in details can be appreciated. It can also work well on playful packaging and entertainment-oriented branding, especially where a bold, characterful voice is needed more than long-form readability.
The font conveys a comedic, offbeat energy—part retro headline, part cartoon title card. Its eye-shaped counters and dramatic notches add a mischievous, costume-like tone that feels attention-seeking and deliberately unconventional rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality and instant recognition through exaggerated weight, widened proportions, and a signature system of notches and eye-like counters. It prioritizes graphic impact and a memorable silhouette, aiming for a quirky, decorative presence in display typography.
In text settings the recurring mid-stroke cutouts create a strong horizontal beat, which can visually connect across words and lines. The numerals follow the same inflated, notched logic, keeping the set stylistically consistent and suited to short, emphatic copy.
