A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and simplified construction. Strokes are largely uniform and the forms lean on circles, rectangles, and wedges, with rounded bowls paired with abrupt, angular joins. Many letters feature distinctive concave “bites” and notched cut-ins at corners and terminals, creating a carved, stencil-adjacent texture while keeping solid, blocky silhouettes. Counters are small and often circular, and several glyphs show intentional asymmetries and quirky internal cutouts that add rhythm and visual punch.
Best suited to display settings where its chunky silhouettes and notched details can be appreciated—posters, large headlines, branding marks, packaging, and short emphatic statements. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or titles, but the dense counters and decorative cut-ins suggest avoiding long text at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a retro display energy that feels toy-like and graphic. Its cut-in details read like playful “ink traps” or chiseled shapes, giving it a crafted, funky personality rather than a neutral utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans into a distinctive display style by adding carved notches, concave cut-ins, and wedge-like terminals. The goal seems to be strong shelf impact and instant recognizability, balancing simple underlying geometry with idiosyncratic detailing that gives the face a signature look.
The caps and figures appear especially impactful due to their compact counters and prominent wedge/arc cut-ins, which create high recognizability at large sizes. The lowercase keeps the same chunky logic, with single-storey forms and pronounced terminal shaping that emphasizes a decorative, logo-friendly character.
