A heavy, geometric display face built from thick blocks and near-circular bowls, punctuated by sharp triangular notches and occasional step-like cut-ins. Counters are largely collapsed, so letters read as solid silhouettes with only minimal interior separation created by strategic cutouts. Terminals tend to be flat and squared while curves stay broad and smooth, producing a compact, high-impact rhythm. The set mixes round and rectilinear construction, with visible irregularities in where notches and bites occur, giving the alphabet an intentionally varied, puzzle-cut feel.
Best suited for short, high-contrast applications where impact matters more than fine detail—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold logo wordmarks. It also works well for playful branding and event graphics, especially at larger sizes where the notch details and silhouette differences remain clear.
The overall tone is loud, playful, and slightly mischievous—more toy-like and poster-driven than neutral. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky cutaways evoke retro sign lettering and cartoon-title energy, with a hint of experimental, hand-cut stencil character.
The design appears intended to maximize visual weight and personality through solid, counterless forms and distinctive bite-like cutouts. It prioritizes graphic silhouette, pattern, and punchy presence, aiming for memorable display typography rather than continuous reading.
Because many apertures are closed or nearly closed, readability relies on overall silhouettes and the placement of notches rather than conventional counters; this becomes especially apparent in letters with typically open forms. Spacing and shapes feel designed to look cohesive as a mass of black, with cut-ins acting as the primary detail and differentiation.
