A heavy, compact display face built from simplified geometric masses with rounded corners and frequent wedge-like cutouts. Many letters rely on blocked counters or near-counterless construction, creating bold silhouettes with strong positive shape and minimal internal detail. Terminals are typically blunt and squared, while diagonals and joins are resolved with sharp notches that give the forms a chiseled, cut-paper feel. Overall spacing and letterfit read fairly tight in text, with a consistent, monolithic color on the line.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, cover typography, and bold brand marks where the distinctive silhouettes can carry the message. It can also work for packaging or event graphics that benefit from a playful, retro display voice; for longer text, larger sizes and generous line spacing help maintain clarity.
The tone is playful and slightly mischievous, with a retro poster energy that feels hand-cut and game-like rather than formal. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky cutouts add humor and a sense of movement, making the text feel loud and attention-seeking.
The font appears designed to prioritize striking silhouette and graphic personality over conventional counter structure, using cutouts and blocked interiors to create a solid, stamp-like texture. The consistent geometric construction suggests an intention to feel both retro and deliberately unconventional, optimized for display impact.
The design’s legibility depends strongly on size: the filled or collapsed interior spaces and aggressive cutouts make individual shapes more distinctive than traditionally readable. The numerals follow the same silhouette-first approach, using bold blocks and minimal openings to keep the set visually unified.
