A heavy, geometric display face built from dense black forms with frequent notches, wedges, and cut-ins that collapse many internal counters into solid shapes. Curves are broad and circular, while joins and terminals often switch to sharp triangular bites, creating a rhythmic mix of round mass and angular incisions. The overall silhouette feels compact and blocky, with simplified bowls and apertures that read more as sculpted negative cuts than open interior spaces. Numerals and letters share a consistent, poster-like weight and a deliberately irregular, hand-cut geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. It performs well when large, where the carved details and silhouettes can be appreciated; for longer passages or small sizes, its collapsed interiors can reduce legibility.
The tone is bold and playful, with a retro, cut-paper energy that feels more like signage or collage than conventional text typography. Its quirky interruptions and filled-in interiors lend a mischievous, novelty character that can read as both friendly and slightly strange.
The design appears intended to prioritize graphic presence over conventional readability, using solid letterforms and sculpted cut-ins to create a distinctive, brandable texture. It aims for an eye-catching, retro-leaning display voice that stands out in crowded visual environments.
Because many counters are closed or minimized, recognition relies strongly on outer silhouettes; spacing and size become important for clarity. The distinctive triangular notches give the font a branded, emblematic look that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
