A heavy, blocky sans with compact proportions and squared curves, built from broad strokes and rounded-rectangle counters. The most distinctive feature is a recurring set of irregular “bites” and notch-like cutouts that interrupt bowls, joints, and terminals, producing a stenciled, distressed silhouette. Curves stay mostly geometric while the interior negative spaces feel sculpted and uneven, creating an intentionally disrupted rhythm across letters and figures. Numerals share the same chunky construction and cutout motif, keeping the texture consistent in display sizes.
Best suited for attention-grabbing display work such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging accents, and event promotions where the cutout texture can be appreciated. It can add character to short phrases or titles, but the busy interior notching suggests using it at larger sizes and with generous spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is mischievous and off-kilter, like lettering that’s been carved, chipped, or punched out of a solid slab. It reads as energetic and slightly abrasive, with a DIY, playful-chaotic character that leans toward poster and prop typography rather than quiet text setting.
The design appears intended to take a straightforward, geometric sans foundation and inject it with a deliberate, irregular cutout system—creating a one-off decorative voice that feels tactile and disruptive while remaining broadly legible.
The cutout shapes appear repeatedly in similar positions across many glyphs, giving the design a recognizable signature texture. In longer lines of text the notches create a lively, flickering pattern that adds visual noise and personality, especially in all-caps and at large sizes.
