A heavy, geometric sans with broad strokes and a compact, blocky build. Curves are rendered with faceted, chamfered edges, giving many letters a cut-out look rather than smooth circular bowls. Counters often appear as diamonds or sharp apertures (notably in O and Q), and terminals frequently end in angled wedges that create lively internal negative spaces. The overall rhythm is dense and high-impact, with simplified forms and distinctive angular notches that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, event titles, and branding where the angular cut-ins and diamond counters can be appreciated. It also works well on packaging and badges that benefit from a bold, graphic silhouette, but is less ideal for long passages of small text due to its dense, decorative interior shapes.
The font projects a playful, retro voice with a slightly quirky, crafted feel. Its faceted curves and diamond-like interior shapes add a decorative spark that can feel game-like or posterish, balancing friendliness with a bold, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, graphic sans that feels contemporary yet retro-inspired, using consistent chamfers and stylized counters to add character without relying on serifs or calligraphic contrast.
Uppercase shapes lean toward emblematic, sign-like silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains the same cut-and-chamfer logic for consistency. Numerals follow the same design language, with strong diagonals and sculpted inner forms, helping them hold their own in headlines and short UI labels.
