A heavy, blocky display face with rounded outer corners and frequent inset notches that create a cut-in, sculpted silhouette. Strokes stay broadly consistent while corners and joins alternate between blunt slabs and softened curves, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and several letters show idiosyncratic shaping (notably in bowls and diagonals), reinforcing a hand-cut, one-off construction rather than strict geometric logic.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event titles, logos, and packaging where its bold silhouette can do the work. It can also fit themed signage and playful branding, especially when set at larger sizes where the notches and corner shaping remain clear.
The tone is bold and humorous, with a retro novelty feel that reads like playful signage or a cartoon title card. Its chunky mass and quirky cut-ins give it an energetic, slightly mischievous personality that favors personality over restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with an intentionally unconventional, cut-out letter structure. By combining rounded corners with carved interior notches and compact counters, it aims to feel crafted, quirky, and attention-grabbing for display-first typography.
Spacing appears intentionally generous for a display style, helping the dense letterforms remain distinguishable. Numerals and uppercase share the same carved, softened-block language, giving headings a consistent, poster-ready texture.
