A heavy, geometric display face built from bold, mostly monolinear shapes with softened corners and frequent triangular notches. Many bowls and counters are fully closed or reduced to minimal cut-ins, creating a solid, cut-paper silhouette. Curves are rounded but deliberately interrupted by sharp wedges, while verticals and horizontals remain blocky and stable. Spacing and proportions vary by letter, giving the alphabet an intentionally irregular rhythm while maintaining consistent stroke mass and a unified, sculpted look.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and brand marks where its solid silhouettes can dominate. It can work well on packaging and apparel graphics, especially when paired with simpler supporting type. Use generous size and spacing for longer phrases to keep word shapes clear.
The overall tone is playful and assertive, with a retro-futurist, signage-like energy. Its chunky silhouettes and cheeky bite marks read as whimsical and unconventional rather than formal, making it feel like a crafted, poster-era display style.
The font appears designed to translate a geometric base into a distinctive solid display voice by collapsing counters and carving consistent wedge-shaped cutouts. The aim is a memorable, icon-like alphabet that reads quickly at a glance and stands out strongly in black-on-white or high-contrast applications.
The design relies on recognizable letter skeletons while simplifying interiors, so readability drops as sizes get small or lines get dense. Numerals echo the same solid-bowl approach, with strong, easily spotted shapes that prioritize graphic presence over detail.
