A forward-leaning, display-oriented sans with chunky, angular strokes and a lively, hand-cut rhythm. Letterforms are built from solid black shapes with a slim interior inline that reads as a carved highlight, creating a layered, dimensional effect. Curves are slightly squashed and corners often taper or hook, while the stroke edges show subtle irregularities that enhance the handmade feel. Spacing is fairly tight and the overall silhouette stays compact, with consistent weight and a strong, graphic presence across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, cover art, and promotional graphics where the inline highlight can be appreciated. It can also work for bold wordmarks and packaging accents, especially when a playful, retro-leaning voice is desired.
The typeface conveys a spirited, slightly mischievous tone—like a brush-lettered headline treated with a bold inline highlight. Its slanted stance and jagged energy suggest motion and attitude, giving it a retro/comic flavor suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with added visual sparkle via a carved inline, combining a brushy, handmade construction with a strong graphic footprint for standout titling.
The inline detail is thin enough to read best at larger sizes, where the cut-through highlight becomes a distinctive signature. Numerals and capitals feel particularly poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains the same energetic, hand-drawn texture for longer words.
