A heavy, block-based sans with irregular, carved-in counters and soft, subtly rounded corners. The letters sit on sturdy rectangular bodies, with wedge-like notches, pinched joins, and occasional teardrop or slit-shaped openings that create a hand-cut, stencil-adjacent feel without true stencil bridges. Curves are simplified and squared-off, terminals are blunt, and spacing reads slightly uneven by design, giving the line a lively, lumpy rhythm. Numerals follow the same chunky construction with prominent internal cutouts and compact, geometric silhouettes.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its chunky silhouettes and cutout counters can read clearly. It also works well for playful event promotions, kids-oriented graphics, and retro-inspired branding when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is mischievous and lighthearted, evoking retro novelty lettering and cartoon title cards. Its playful distortions and cutout details feel handcrafted and theatrical, prioritizing personality over neutrality.
The design appears intended as a high-impact novelty sans that reads as bold and friendly while injecting texture through carved counters and irregular contours. It aims to deliver a distinctive, retro-leaning voice for short bursts of text and attention-grabbing titles.
The distinctive inner cut shapes and asymmetric nicks become a key texture at display sizes, while the dense black mass can cause counters to close up when set too small. The design’s intentionally uneven rhythm makes it best used where character is desired more than typographic invisibility.
