A heavy, display-oriented slab with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are largely blocky and monolinear in feel, but are interrupted by distinctive internal cut-ins and notches that create a stencil-like, split-stroke look across bowls and stems. Terminals are squared yet softly rounded, and many letters feature small inward scoops and trap-like apertures that add texture and keep counters open at large sizes. The overall rhythm is uneven in a deliberate way, with chunky slabs, tight joins, and occasional bulbous details that emphasize a cutout, industrial silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and storefront-style signage. It performs most confidently at medium-to-large sizes where the internal cut-ins remain clear and contribute to the intended texture; it is less suited to long passages or small UI text.
The font reads as mischievous and retro, with a handcrafted, poster-era personality. Its bold cut-ins and chunky slabs give it a toy-like toughness—equal parts carnival sign, novelty print, and mid-century display. The textured breaks add energy and a slightly eccentric cadence that feels informal and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a distinctive cutout aesthetic—mixing slab-like structure with decorative internal breaks to create a memorable, print-forward display voice. The consistent notching and scooped joins suggest an emphasis on novelty and visual rhythm rather than neutrality.
The split interiors are consistent across both uppercase and lowercase, producing a strong black-and-white pattern that can start to sparkle in dense settings. Numerals follow the same cutout logic, with rounded forms and pronounced horizontal openings that reinforce the font’s signature texture.
