A graphic display face built from chunky, simplified silhouettes paired with very thin, hairline strokes in select letters. Many glyphs reduce bowls and counters to solid masses, with openings implied through cut-ins, notches, or circular “bites,” creating a cutout/constructed look. The design mixes strict geometry (circles, triangles, rectangles) with irregular internal carving, producing uneven color and variable glyph widths across the alphabet. Terminals are often blunt and squared, while some forms lean on sharp triangular joins (notably V/W/M/N) and minimal one-stroke constructions (I, l, t).
Best suited for short, prominent settings where its silhouette-driven forms can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and editorial display. It works particularly well when used large, with generous spacing, and in high-contrast applications where the solid shapes can function as graphic elements.
The overall tone is playful and slightly surreal, like a set of modular pictograms turned into an alphabet. Its bold, poster-like silhouettes read as retro-futurist and toy-like, with a sense of motion created by the asymmetrical cuts and collapsed interiors. The contrast between heavy solids and occasional hairline elements adds a quirky, experimental attitude.
The font appears designed as an experimental, shape-led display alphabet that prioritizes bold icon-like presence over text neutrality. By collapsing interiors and carving recognition cues into solid forms, it aims to create a distinctive, memorable voice for branding and attention-grabbing titles.
Legibility is intentionally stylized: several letters rely on distinctive notches or partial strokes rather than conventional counters, and the texture varies noticeably between all-solid characters and those with thin linear components. The numerals follow the same silhouette-first logic, with simplified, emblematic forms that favor impact over uniformity.
