A heavy, rounded display face with an inline cut running through many strokes, creating a carved, hollowed look within otherwise solid letterforms. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with slightly wobbly verticals, uneven terminals, and occasional notches that give the shapes a hand-cut, blocky rhythm. Counters tend to be generous and circular (notably in O, Q, and numerals), while joins and diagonals keep a simplified, poster-friendly geometry. Spacing reads open and the overall construction favors bold silhouettes over fine detail, with small internal cut-ins adding texture and movement.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and storefront-style signage where the carved inline details can be appreciated. It can also work for logo marks or short brand phrases that benefit from a handcrafted, textured presence, but it will be less effective for long passages or very small sizes where the interior cuts may visually fill in.
The inline carving and uneven edges produce a lively, crafty tone that feels playful and slightly vintage. It reads like cut paper, linocut, or hand-printed signage—confident and attention-seeking, with a friendly roughness rather than precision.
The design appears intended to combine a strong, readable silhouette with decorative internal carving to evoke a hand-crafted print or cut-letter aesthetic. Its irregularities and textured inline details suggest an emphasis on personality and tactile charm over strict geometric uniformity.
The inline treatment varies subtly from glyph to glyph, so large sizes emphasize the decorative interior cuts and distressed character. Curved forms show the carving most clearly, while straight stems often carry narrow inner channels that enhance the hand-made effect.
