A heavy, blocky display face with broad proportions and simplified geometry. Strokes are mostly monolinear but repeatedly interrupted by sharp, wedge-like notches and rounded cut-ins, creating a cut-out/stencil feel that reads like intentional “bites” taken from the letterforms. Corners alternate between crisp flats and softened curves, and several glyphs show asymmetrical interior shaping that gives the set an irregular, hand-carved rhythm. Counters are generally compact and often sculpted into angular apertures, producing strong black–white patterning at headline sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the carved notches can be appreciated—posters, headers, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and playful branding. In longer text, the busy interior shaping can become visually dense, so it performs most confidently at larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The repeated nicks and hollowed shapes give the font a prankish, oddball personality—part retro sign lettering, part Halloween craft stencil. It feels energetic and slightly chaotic, with a comedic edge that leans more toward playful weirdness than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, one-off display voice by combining sturdy, billboard-like letter skeletons with irregular stencil cuts and ink-trap-like bites. The goal seems to be immediate character and memorable texture rather than neutrality or continuous-text legibility.
Texture is a defining feature: the internal cutouts and notch placement vary from glyph to glyph, so words form a lively, uneven silhouette. Numerals and capitals retain the same carved-in detailing, helping mixed settings stay visually consistent while remaining intentionally idiosyncratic.
