A condensed, heavy display face built from chunky, squared forms with softened corners and slightly uneven, hand-drawn contours. The strokes are solid and compact, with narrow internal counters and a subtly variable rhythm from glyph to glyph. A distinctive carved detail runs through many strokes as slim internal cut-outs, giving the letters a notched, inky texture rather than a perfectly uniform fill. Terminals tend to be blunt, and curves are simplified into squarish bowls and arches, producing a dense, poster-like color.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and branding marks where the carved interior detail can be appreciated. It can also work for event promos or themed titles (e.g., playful horror, retro novelty) when set with ample spacing and generous size.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a DIY, comic-poster energy. The carved interior details add a slightly spooky or novelty feel—more funhouse than formal—making the texture feel lively and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended as a characterful display font that combines condensed, blocky construction with an intentionally imperfect, carved-inline texture. Its goal is to deliver maximum impact and personality, prioritizing expressive silhouette and decorative interior detail over neutral readability in long passages.
The condensed proportions and heavy weight create strong vertical emphasis, while the irregular interior cut-outs introduce a distressed, carved effect that becomes more apparent at larger sizes. In continuous text, the dense black shapes dominate and the texture reads as a decorative feature rather than a subtle nuance.
