This typeface uses heavy, blocky silhouettes built from rounded-rectangle geometry and simplified curves. Many letters are carved through the middle with narrow horizontal “slots” and notches, creating a consistent cutout/stencil effect that interrupts counters and crossbars. Terminals are mostly blunt and soft-cornered, with occasional asymmetric bites and inward scoops that give the forms a deliberately irregular rhythm. The overall construction feels modular, with repeated interior cut shapes across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact display settings like posters, covers, branding marks, and packaging where the carved midline texture can be a feature. It also works well for playful headlines, event graphics, and retro-futuristic or game-adjacent visuals where character is more important than continuous reading comfort.
The cut-through strokes and chunky proportions give the font a mischievous, sci‑fi display energy—part arcade signage, part toy packaging. Its intentional oddities read as expressive rather than rough, producing a lively, offbeat voice that feels designed to stand out and entertain.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, instantly recognizable word shape through oversized forms and a signature internal cut motif. By repeating the same slot-and-notch language across the set, it aims for a cohesive decorative system that feels experimental while remaining legible at display sizes.
The interior slots reduce solid black mass and add a distinctive texture line across words, but also break conventional letter anatomy, especially in small sizes or dense settings. Numerals follow the same carved, rounded-block logic, helping headings and badges keep a unified look.
