A heavy, rounded display face with irregular, organic contours and open counters. Each glyph is built from a thick outer outline that contains scattered, pebble-like internal knockouts, creating a hollowed, cutout look rather than a solid fill. Terminals are blunt and softly curved, and the overall drawing feels intentionally uneven, with small variations in curvature and stroke edge that read as hand-cut. Spacing is fairly open for a display style, and the figures and capitals maintain a consistent visual texture across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where the internal cutouts can be appreciated—posters, playful branding, event/party materials, product packaging, and craft-themed designs. It can also work for titles on merchandise or social graphics where a bold, textured wordmark is needed.
The all-over cutout pattern gives the font a lively, crafty personality—more playful than formal, with a slightly whimsical, vintage-novelty feel. The irregular hollows add motion and texture, making the type feel tactile and decorative, like paper cutouts or painted lettering with resist effects.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with built-in texture, using irregular internal knockouts to create a distinctive, decorative surface without relying on additional effects. The consistent hollow pattern suggests a focus on novelty impact and a handcrafted, cutout aesthetic for attention-grabbing typography.
The internal knockouts are relatively dense, so the texture becomes a prominent part of the letterforms; at smaller sizes the holes may visually merge, while at larger sizes the pattern reads clearly as a deliberate motif. Round forms (O, Q, 0) showcase the hollow texture most strongly, and the punctuation and dots follow the same chunky, softened construction.
