A quirky geometric sans with largely monoline strokes and frequent, intentional ink traps that collapse counters into solid forms. Several glyphs toggle between airy outlines and heavy, filled-in bowls, creating a strong light/dark rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and circular, while joins and terminals often feel clipped or notched, giving a stencil-like, cutout character. Proportions are broadly modern with a normal x-height, but individual letters show idiosyncratic construction that makes the texture intentionally uneven and attention-grabbing.
Best suited to display contexts where its alternating solid/collapsed counters can act as a strong graphic feature—posters, branding marks, packaging titles, and editorial headers. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set large, where the unusual interior treatment remains legible and distinctive.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, balancing clean geometric simplicity with surprising solid shapes that read like graphic dots or cut-paper inserts. It suggests a retro-futurist, pop-design sensibility—friendly at a glance, but deliberately strange on closer inspection.
The design appears intended to subvert a neutral geometric sans by selectively removing interior openings and adding notched joins, creating a bold, decorative texture without relying on heavy stroke weight. It aims to deliver instant personality and pattern-like contrast in words while staying upright and broadly structured like a conventional sans.
Because some counters are fully filled, readability varies by letter and improves with generous tracking and larger sizes. The alternating solid forms can be used as a visual motif, turning ordinary text into a pattern-like surface in headlines.
