A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded outer corners and a noticeably sculpted, cut-in construction. Many joins and terminals feature small inward bites and notch-like “ink trap” shapes that create a chiseled silhouette without adding contrast. Counters tend to be compact and rounded, and the overall rhythm is uneven in an intentional way, with lively curves and occasional bulges that keep letters from feeling strictly geometric. Numerals and capitals maintain the same chunky proportions and carved details, producing a cohesive, strongly graphic texture in text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and logo-like wordmarks where the carved details and slanted stance can read clearly. It can also work for playful branding systems and merchandise graphics where a strong, character-driven tone is desired.
The face reads as playful and slightly mischievous, with a retro display energy reminiscent of hand-cut lettering and comic-adjacent titling. Its tilted stance and chunky mass give it momentum, while the irregular notches add a humorous, characterful edge. Overall it feels bold in personality—more for impact and attitude than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an energetic, offbeat display voice by combining a chunky italic skeleton with rounded forms and repeated notch motifs. Those cut-ins act as a unifying signature, making even simple shapes feel custom and animated. The result prioritizes recognizability and personality over quiet readability.
The distinctive internal bites can visually fill in at small sizes, so the design’s signature detailing is most apparent when set large. Spacing appears relatively tight and the dark color creates a strong horizontal flow in lines of text.
