A tall, narrow display face built from chunky outer strokes with a consistent inner cut that reads like an inset line. Shapes are mostly rectilinear and squared-off, with rounded corners appearing selectively; counters often feel boxy and slightly irregular. Stroke edges wobble subtly and some terminals flare or notch, creating a hand-drawn, carved look rather than a perfectly geometric one. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet an uneven rhythm while keeping a strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where the inset line can be appreciated. It can add character to album art, event graphics, and branded merchandise, especially in high-contrast compositions.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, with a crafty, DIY energy that suggests marker, lino-cut, or scratched signage. Its inset detailing adds a slightly sci‑fi or arcade flavor, while the irregularities keep it casual and expressive rather than slick.
The font appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing silhouette with a distinctive inset line that mimics carved or outlined letterforms. Its irregular construction suggests a deliberate handmade aesthetic aimed at expressive display typography rather than neutral text setting.
The internal cut line is a defining feature and remains visible even in narrow strokes, creating a layered, dimensional impression. The design relies on high black-and-white contrast in silhouette and interior detailing, so it reads best when given room to breathe.
