A chunky display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and an inline cut running through most strokes, creating a carved, slightly hollowed color. Terminals are blunt and angular, with subtly notched corners and uneven stroke edges that mimic ink drag or knife marks. The letterforms keep a mostly upright stance with variable widths and a lively, inconsistent rhythm; bowls and counters tend toward squarish, faceted shapes rather than smooth curves. Numerals are similarly blocky and stylized, maintaining the same cut-in detailing and rugged perimeter.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset: posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging, labels, and title treatments. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when ample size and spacing preserve the inline detail and rough edges.
The overall tone feels crafty and analog—like hand-printed posters, carved signage, or screen-printed merch—mixing a vintage DIY grit with a light, mischievous energy. The inline detailing adds a decorative, slightly theatrical flair without becoming delicate, keeping the voice bold and approachable.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-carved or hand-printed look—combining robust block letterforms with an incised inline to add ornament and depth. The controlled crudeness and variable rhythm prioritize character and craft over neutrality and uniformity.
The inline is not perfectly uniform, which reinforces the handmade effect and adds shimmer at larger sizes. Spacing and shape irregularities give strong character, but also make the texture more pronounced across longer passages, where the chiseled edges become part of the typographic color.
