A heavy, geometric sans with broad, compact forms and crisp, mostly squared terminals. Many letters show distinctive internal cut-ins and notches that create a chiseled, almost stenciled rhythm, with pockets of thinning that read like ink-traps or carved counters. Rounds are large and stable (O/C/G), while verticals stay dominant; some joins and diagonals introduce sharp wedges that add snap in letters like W, V, Y, and Z. Overall spacing is generous enough for display, with a lively, slightly uneven texture created by the recurring cutout motif across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, packaging, and brand statements where the bold silhouettes and carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI or editorial callouts, but it is most effective when given room and scale to preserve its distinctive interior shaping.
The font projects a bold, upbeat personality—part retro headline, part contemporary graphic branding. Its carved details and chunky silhouettes feel energetic and a bit mischievous, giving text a distinctive, attention-grabbing cadence rather than a neutral, workhorse tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a recognizable signature, combining geometric sans proportions with deliberately cut-in counters and wedges to create a custom, display-forward texture. The goal seems to be strong legibility at display sizes while adding personality through consistent notches and sculpted strokes.
The notched/cut-in detailing becomes a defining signature at larger sizes, where the interior shaping reads clearly and adds character. In dense settings or smaller sizes, those internal cuts may visually merge, so the face tends to reward ample size and clear contrast in layout.
