A heavy, geometric display face built from large, solid shapes with rounded outer curves and frequent angular notches. Counters are often minimized or partially closed, producing a compact, ink-trap/stencil-like feeling in letters such as S, C, G, and a. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared, with occasional scooped cut-ins that create a distinctive rhythm across the alphabet. The overall silhouette reads as sturdy and compact, with simplified interior detail and a deliberately irregular, cut-out logic that prioritizes mass and shape over conventional aperture clarity.
Best suited to posters, short headlines, logos, packaging, and bold signage where maximum presence is needed. It works especially well when set large, allowing the notched details and solid geometry to read clearly. For continuous reading or small UI text, the collapsed counters and heavy texture can reduce legibility, so it’s most effective as an accent or statement face.
The font projects a playful, retro-graphic attitude—bold, cheeky, and a bit mischievous. Its chunky solids and quirky notches evoke cut-paper signage and toy-like letterforms, giving headlines a loud, attention-grabbing voice. The collapsed interiors add a slightly cryptic, novelty edge that feels designed for impact rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly graphic, instantly recognizable display voice by emphasizing solid mass, simplified interiors, and signature cut-out notches. It aims for strong poster impact and a playful novelty character rather than traditional text readability.
In longer sample text, the dense black texture dominates and the notches become the primary distinguishing feature between similar forms, especially in smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same solid, sculpted approach, with simplified bowls and strong, poster-like silhouettes. Spacing appears optimized for display, where the distinctive cut-ins can be appreciated without letters visually merging.
