A geometric, monoline sans with open counters and an inline/outline construction that leaves the letterforms largely hollow. A hard, offset shadow layer sits consistently down and to the left, creating a two-layer, cut-paper look with crisp corners and clean joins. Curves are broad and smooth, terminals are mostly flat, and proportions feel compact in the caps with a notably tall x-height in the lowercase. Spacing and rhythm are even and blocky, prioritizing silhouette clarity over fine detail.
Best suited to display work where the layered depth can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, event graphics, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or social graphics when set large enough to keep the outline and shadow separation crisp.
The combination of hollow outlines and a bold offset shadow reads as upbeat and attention-seeking, with a distinctly retro sign-paint and poster sensibility. It feels playful and slightly theatrical, like dimensional lettering made for headlines and punchy statements.
The design appears intended to deliver dimensional impact with minimal stroke weight by combining hollow letterforms with a consistent offset shadow, producing a bold, readable display effect without relying on heavy fills.
The shadow layer behaves like a consistent offset duplicate rather than a soft cast shadow, giving a strong sense of depth while staying sharply graphic. The interior whitespace becomes a major design element, so the font’s character depends heavily on background contrast and size.
