A heavy, block-driven sans with softened, superellipse-like curves and broad, rectangular counters. The strokes are monoline and extremely dense, with compact apertures and a strong horizontal rhythm. Many glyphs incorporate small, consistent wedge-like cut-ins and notches that read like intentional stencil breaks, creating a distinctive inner-edge texture without introducing contrast. Lowercase forms are tall and sturdy with single-storey structures and simplified joins, while numerals are similarly chunky and geometric, emphasizing mass and legibility at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where the weight and cut-in details can be appreciated—posters, event graphics, album/track titles, packaging fronts, and logo marks. It can work for large subheads, but the tight apertures and dense texture make it less comfortable for long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, combining friendly rounded geometry with a slightly abrasive, cut-out texture. It feels energetic and irreverent—more street, skate, or club-poster than corporate—while still staying clean enough to read as a modern display sans.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a contemporary rounded-rectangle skeleton, then differentiate itself through systematic stencil-like notches. The result is a display-forward sans that reads as both friendly and assertive, optimized for bold branding and attention-grabbing titles.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, and the dense shapes make white space (counters and apertures) a key part of the letterforms. The notch motif repeats across multiple letters, giving the design a unified, branded look that becomes more noticeable as sizes increase.
