A heavy, block-built display face with chunky strokes and small, chiseled notches that create a softly jagged silhouette. Corners tend to flare and taper into short wedge-like terminals, giving many glyphs a carved, cut-out feel rather than smooth serif logic. Counters are relatively tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm is compact and punchy with a deliberately irregular edge treatment across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to short display settings where its distinctive notched outlines can carry the message: headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for playful signage or titles where a strong silhouette is more important than long-form readability.
The tone reads mischievous and energetic, with a vintage cartoon/poster flavor and a slightly rowdy, hand-cut character. Its exaggerated, notched terminals and stout proportions make it feel humorous and attention-seeking rather than formal or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally odd, one-off display voice by combining a sturdy, blackletter-adjacent mass with cartoonish carving and flared terminals. The goal seems to be instant personality and strong silhouette recognition rather than typographic neutrality.
The texture stays consistently dark at text sizes, and the decorative edge shaping becomes the primary distinguishing feature—especially in rounded forms and diagonals where the notches and flares are most visible. Numerals match the same chunky, cut-in styling, supporting cohesive headline and labeling use.
