A heavy, soft-edged display face built from chunky geometric masses with rounded corners and frequent wedge-like cutouts. Counters are often reduced to small slits or holes, creating a solid, poster-like silhouette that reads as part stencil, part paper-cut. Curves are broad and inflated, while straight strokes keep a simplified, blocky rhythm; several letters show idiosyncratic nicks and angled notches that give the set an intentionally irregular, hand-cut feel. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, reinforcing the lively, uneven texture in lines of text.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and short branding phrases where its heavy silhouettes and cutout texture can be appreciated. It can add personality to packaging, event promotions, album or zine-style graphics, and logo marks, especially when used sparingly as a primary display accent.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a bold cartoon energy that feels retro and craft-forward. Its filled-in interiors and cutout details suggest a cut-paper, mask, or stencil aesthetic—more expressive than formal—designed to grab attention and add character quickly.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a playful, handmade irregularity, using solid letterforms and carved-in openings to create a distinctive cutout/stencil signature. The goal seems to be memorable display typography with a strong graphic presence rather than neutral readability for long passages.
The most distinctive feature is the consistent use of internal cut marks and collapsed openings, which creates strong black shapes with small highlights. This produces high visual density, making the face most effective at larger sizes where the cutouts remain legible and the irregularities read as intentional texture rather than noise.
