A monoline, geometric sans with rounded bowls and clean, open outlines, punctuated by deliberate counter-fill motifs. Several letters and numerals introduce solid, teardrop- and wedge-like fills that intrude into or replace parts of the counters, creating a spot-ink rhythm inside otherwise airy forms. Strokes stay consistently thin, terminals are smooth, and curves are broadly circular; diagonals remain crisp and straight. The overall construction is modern and tidy, while the filled interior shapes add irregular visual accents across the character set.
Best suited to display settings where the counter-fill details can be appreciated: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can work for short text in spacious layouts, but the interior fills make it most effective when used large or with generous tracking.
The filled-counter surprises give the face a mischievous, toy-like personality, reading as playful and slightly surreal rather than purely functional. It feels contemporary and design-forward, with a handcrafted “graphic trick” sensibility that adds charm and a hint of oddity in running text.
The design appears intended to hybridize a clean geometric skeleton with expressive interior interventions, turning counters into graphic focal points. The goal seems to be a distinctive, instantly recognizable texture that remains structurally legible while signaling novelty and personality.
The decorative counter treatments appear inconsistently across glyphs (not every character carries a fill), which creates a lively, patterned texture but can also draw attention to specific letters within words. In text, the interior solids can visually clump at smaller sizes, making the style read more as a display feature than a neutral workhorse.
