A heavy, chunky display face with compact proportions and strongly sculpted, bulb-like strokes. The letterforms mix broad vertical slabs with rounded terminals and pronounced internal cut-ins that create a stencil-like, notched silhouette. Curves are tight and slightly lopsided, with softened corners and occasional pinched joins that give the shapes a hand-carved feel. Spacing and sidebearings appear irregular by design, producing a lively, uneven rhythm across words, while numerals follow the same blocky, cut-out construction for a consistent texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, storefront-style graphics, packaging, and event promotions where its distinctive cut-in shapes can read as a visual motif. It performs strongest at larger sizes, where the notches and chunky curves remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, with a retro showcard flavor and a slightly mischievous, cartoonish presence. Its notched counters and chunky massing feel attention-grabbing and theatrical, leaning toward novelty display rather than neutrality or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, eye-catching display voice by combining heavy slab-like structure with playful, stencil-like cut-ins and irregular rhythm. It prioritizes character and graphic texture over continuous readability, making it ideal for expressive branding moments.
The signature detail is the repeated internal “bite” or wedge-shaped void that appears across many glyphs, creating a recognizable pattern at text size. Uppercase and lowercase share the same bold, carved construction, which can reduce traditional case contrast but increases graphic consistency in headlines.
