A condensed, heavy display face built from chunky, straight-sided forms with clipped corners and a slightly uneven, hand-drawn perimeter. Strokes are filled but interrupted by a thin interior line that meanders through the counters and main stems, creating a carved/engraved look and a subtle sense of depth. Curves are simplified into faceted, almost octagonal shapes, and terminals tend to end bluntly. Spacing is fairly tight and the irregular inline and outline textures add a lively, gritty rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging titles, and album or event graphics. The interior cut-ins and distressed texture are most legible at medium-to-large sizes, where the carved line reads as a deliberate stylistic feature rather than visual noise.
The overall tone feels bold and mischievous—like a stamped poster headline or a rough-cut sign. Its distressed inline detail gives it a DIY, zine-like energy with a touch of vintage carnival or western wood-type attitude, making text feel loud, tactile, and slightly rebellious.
The design appears intended to blend strong, condensed display proportions with a carved inline and roughened finish, evoking hand-made printing, woodcut signage, or stamped lettering. It prioritizes character and texture over neutrality, aiming to add visual punch and tactile personality to title typography.
The inline cut varies in thickness and placement from glyph to glyph, which increases the handcrafted character and creates noticeable texture at larger sizes. The faceted geometry stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive even with the intentionally rough internal detailing.
