Solid Koje 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'AG Book W1G' by Berthold; 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block; and 'Genera', 'Genera Grotesk', and 'Goldbill' by Wahyu and Sani Co. (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-forward display face with compact counters and frequent closed or near-closed apertures that make many letters read as solid silhouettes. Curves are inflated and rounded, while joins and terminals are cut with crisp, angular notches and wedges, creating a mixed soft/hard geometry. The rhythm is irregular and intentionally idiosyncratic: bowls and shoulders vary in fullness, and several glyphs show distinctive bite-outs or internal slits rather than open counters. Numerals are similarly weighty and simplified, leaning on big masses and small, carved openings for definition.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and event or retail signage. It works well where a graphic, stamped silhouette look is desired and where text can be set large enough for the distinctive cut-ins and compressed counters to remain clear.
The overall tone is bold, humorous, and attention-seeking, with a slightly mischievous, cartoonish energy. Its exaggerated silhouettes and blocked-in interiors feel more like shaped signage or cut paper than conventional text typography, giving it a retro novelty flavor.
The design appears intended to prioritize bold silhouette recognition and novelty character over continuous-text readability, using filled-in interiors and sharp notches to create a distinctive, cut-out display texture. It aims to deliver maximum visual weight and personality in minimal letterform detail.
At smaller sizes the closed apertures and tight counters can reduce legibility, while at larger sizes the carved notches and silhouette-level shapes become the main visual feature. The design reads best when allowed generous size and spacing so the letterforms don’t visually merge.
