The design is a heavy, display-oriented sans with broad proportions and compact counters. A consistent inline “carve” runs through most strokes, creating high-impact black shapes with sharp, graphic highlights. Terminals are largely blunt and squared, with occasional angled cuts that add a jagged, cut-paper feel. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and diagonals stay chunky, producing strong silhouettes and dense texture in text lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, album/cover art, titles, and short bursts of text where a strong visual voice is desired. It can work well for entertainment branding, event graphics, stickers/merch, and bold social graphics. For long-form reading or small sizes, the dense weight and interior carving may reduce clarity, so it’s strongest when given room and scale.
This typeface gives off a loud, punchy, slightly mischievous energy. The carved interior lines add a sense of motion and grit, pushing it toward a playful, poster-forward tone rather than a sober or editorial one. Overall it feels bold, attention-seeking, and a bit rebellious.
The font appears designed for maximum impact at large sizes, using substantial mass and an internal inline to add texture without sacrificing the primary silhouette. The carved detailing suggests an intention to feel handcrafted or distressed in a controlled, repeatable way, making the letterforms more dynamic than a plain heavy sans.
The inline detailing varies slightly across glyphs, creating a lively, textured rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain strong, stable silhouettes, and the overall spacing feels geared toward display setting where the black mass forms a solid typographic block.
