A dense, geometric display face built from heavy, simplified shapes with collapsed counters and frequent cut-ins that create a stencil-like rhythm. Letterforms lean on circles, semicircles, and blunt rectangles, punctuated by sharp wedges and notches—especially in diagonals and joins—producing a lively, constructed feel. Curves are broad and smooth, terminals are mostly flat, and many glyphs feature deliberate gaps or bite marks that keep the black mass from feeling monolithic. The overall texture is bold and blocky with irregular internal logic that varies from glyph to glyph, emphasizing graphic silhouettes over conventional readability.
Best suited to large-format display work where its solid silhouettes and cut-in details can be read clearly—posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and editorial or entertainment graphics. It can work for short bursts of text or punchy callouts, but is most effective when given ample size and spacing.
The tone is loud and cartoonish, with a mid-century/retro display sensibility and a slightly mischievous, cut-paper character. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky interruptions read as fun, assertive, and attention-grabbing rather than refined or technical.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact through simplified, counterless forms and playful geometric interruptions, prioritizing iconic shapes and a memorable texture for display-led communication.
In text settings, the filled-in interiors and notch details create strong word shapes but reduce letter differentiation at smaller sizes. The design’s distinctive cuts and wedges become the main identifying feature, giving headings a branded, poster-like stamp.
