This typeface uses heavy, geometric silhouettes with rounded bowls and blunt terminals, creating a compact, cut-paper look. Forms are built from simple circles and rectangles, then interrupted by angular notches and slit-like cut-ins that read like ink traps or stencil breaks in several letters and numerals. Counters tend to be small and often circular, and joins are simplified, producing strong, high-impact shapes that hold together as solid blocks. The lowercase is robust and simplified with single-storey constructions where applicable, and the overall rhythm is dense with a poster-like color on the page.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding marks where its blocky geometry and distinctive cut-ins can be appreciated. It can also work for attention-grabbing signage or large-scale display copy, especially when a retro or playful voice is desired.
The overall tone feels playful and assertive, with a retro display energy that leans toward quirky, game-like, and pop-graphic styling. The deliberate cut-ins add a mischievous, mechanical twist, giving the face a distinctive, crafted personality rather than a neutral utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that prioritizes strong silhouette and graphic texture over neutrality. Its simplified geometry and consistent notch motif suggest a focus on creating memorable word shapes for branding and bold typographic statements.
The design’s signature is the recurring wedge/notch motif and internal slits that appear across multiple glyphs, which can create striking texture in headlines but also adds visual noise at smaller sizes. Round letters and numerals emphasize circular counters, while diagonals are minimal and treated as chunky wedges, reinforcing the font’s bold, emblematic presence.
