A geometric sans with pronounced stroke modulation and frequent breaks that read like inline or stencil cut-ins. Bowls and counters are largely circular or oval, with smooth, rounded terminals contrasted by abrupt, squared cuts in places such as E/F and several lowercase joins. Uppercase forms are compact and simplified, while lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a tall, straight-sided n/m rhythm, and open apertures that keep shapes readable despite the heavy black areas. Numerals follow the same language with clean, graphic silhouettes and occasional clipped or segmented strokes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where its graphic cut-ins and bold silhouettes can carry personality. It works well for branding, packaging, and editorial display settings that want a modern-retro feel and strong typographic presence, and it can serve for wayfinding-style callouts when set large.
The overall tone is bold and design-forward, mixing Bauhaus-like geometry with a quirky, display-first personality. The cut-in details add a techy, poster-like edge, while the rounded curves keep it approachable and friendly rather than severe.
The font appears designed as a distinctive display sans that blends geometric construction with deliberate stroke interruptions to create a recognizable, branded texture. The goal seems to be high impact and memorability, balancing chunky forms with controlled, decorative contrast details.
The design relies on strong figure/ground contrast, with some letters presenting near-solid masses punctuated by small counters or notches. This creates a lively texture in text, especially where the segmented horizontals and curved bowls alternate, and it benefits from generous sizing where the internal separations stay distinct.
