A chunky, geometric sans with largely uniform stroke weight and broad proportions. Forms are built from round bowls and straight stems, but many terminals are finished with sharp wedge cuts and chamfer-like notches that create a faceted, cut-paper look. Counters tend to be generous and circular, while joins and diagonals show deliberate angular breaks that add rhythm and texture across words. The overall construction reads clean and consistent, with distinctive pointed details appearing on both uppercase and lowercase to maintain a cohesive display voice.
Best suited to display settings where its angular terminal cuts can be read and appreciated—headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding marks. It can also work for packaging and promotional graphics where a bold, distinctive word image is more important than long-form readability.
The wedge-cut terminals and rounded cores give the face a lively, slightly theatrical tone that feels playful and retro-leaning. Its spiky accents add motion and attitude without turning into ornate decoration, making it feel characterful and attention-seeking rather than neutral or purely functional.
The design appears intended to take a straightforward geometric sans skeleton and inject personality through repeated wedge cuts and chamfered endings. This creates a memorable silhouette and a strong graphic rhythm aimed at branding and display typography.
In continuous text, the repeated notched terminals become a strong patterning device, so spacing and word-shape feel punchy and graphic. Numerals match the same rounded-plus-angled logic, keeping the set visually unified for headlines and short callouts.
