A heavy, display-oriented Latin with broad, blocky proportions and rounded, bulb-like counters. Many glyphs are built from simple geometric masses with distinctive internal slits and wedge-shaped notches that read like stencil bridges or carved inlines, creating sharp flashes of negative space within otherwise solid forms. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins and terminals often resolve into crisp corners, giving a cut-paper or die-cut feel. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, contributing to an uneven, expressive rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, splash headlines, packaging titles, album/mixtape art, and event promotions where the internal cut details can be appreciated. It also works well for branding accents and logotype-like wordmarks that benefit from a distinctive, crafted texture.
The overall tone is mischievous and attention-seeking, with a retro sign-painting and carnival-poster energy. The repeated cut-ins and sudden negative-space accents make the texture feel animated and slightly unpredictable, pushing the voice toward humorous, offbeat display use rather than sober reading.
The design appears intended to take familiar, rounded display shapes and disrupt them with consistent internal cuts and notches, producing a distinctive silhouette and lively texture. The goal reads as maximal personality and instant recognition, prioritizing graphic impact and novelty over neutrality.
The alternating mix of rounded bowls and abrupt internal incisions creates a strong black/white patterning that becomes a defining texture at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same carved-slit motif, helping headlines feel cohesive even when mixing letters and figures.
