A heavy, geometric display face built from simplified, blocky forms with frequent diagonal notches and slit-like internal cuts. Curves are broad and blunt, while many joins terminate in sharp, triangular breaks, creating a faceted, cutout silhouette. Counters are largely collapsed or minimized, with openings suggested by thin wedges and incisions rather than fully open bowls. The lowercase follows the same sculpted logic with a large x-height and compact apertures, producing a dense, graphic texture in text.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and short titling on packaging or covers. It performs particularly well where a bold silhouette and decorative cutout detail can be appreciated at larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing Deco-style geometry with a handcrafted, cut-paper irregularity. Its sharp internal slashes add a sense of motion and drama, giving the face a slightly mischievous, attention-grabbing personality.
The design appears intended to create a sculpted, cutout look that reads as solid at a glance while rewarding closer inspection with carved-in diagonal accents. It prioritizes visual character and rhythm over open counters and conventional text readability, aiming for strong, instantly recognizable shapes.
The font’s distinctive identity comes from consistent internal “carve” marks—diagonal slits and triangular bites—that repeat across letters and numerals. These details are visually strong at large sizes but can merge into solid shapes as size decreases, making it feel more like a logo/heading tool than a reading face.
