This typeface is built from heavy, compact letterforms with a strongly geometric, cut-paper construction. Strokes terminate in broad, flattened ends and rounded corners, while many curves are carved with sharp notches and bite-like cutouts that create distinctive silhouettes rather than conventional counters. Proportions feel roomy and headline-oriented, with simplified interior spaces, minimal detailing, and a rhythm driven by large black shapes and abrupt angular breaks. The overall texture is dense and graphic, with uneven, intentionally irregular internal shaping that reads consistently across the alphabet.
Best suited to short display settings where its distinctive shapes can read clearly: posters, editorial headlines, branding marks, packaging, and playful event graphics. It can also work for large-format signage or title cards, but is less appropriate for long text or small UI sizes due to its collapsed interior spaces.
The font conveys a playful, quirky tone with a retro, game-like attitude. Its chunky silhouettes and carved openings feel friendly and bold, leaning more toward attention-grabbing display impact than refined typographic neutrality.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that prioritizes bold silhouette and a memorable, irregular cutout motif. By simplifying counters and introducing consistent notches and rounded blocks, it aims to deliver a solid, graphic voice that stands out immediately in branding and headline applications.
Several characters rely on silhouette cues (notches, clipped arcs, and flattened bowls) instead of open counters, so legibility depends heavily on size and context. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same carved, solid construction, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page.
