A geometric display face built from stark circular bowls and razor-straight stems, with frequent cut-ins and notches that collapse counters into solid shapes. The design mixes heavy, disk-like forms with very thin, monoline strokes, creating abrupt weight shifts within individual letters and a distinctly modular rhythm. Many glyphs rely on partial circles, wedges, and clipped terminals; joins are crisp and angles are sharp, while curves stay near-perfectly round. Spacing and letterfit feel intentionally irregular, with some characters reading as compact solid blocks and others as airy line constructions.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where the distinctive silhouettes can do the work—headlines, poster titling, logotypes, packaging accents, and expressive branding systems. It can also perform as a decorative layer in editorial or event graphics when used at generous sizes and with ample spacing.
The overall tone is bold and graphic with a playful, slightly mischievous edge. Its pie-slice cuts and collapsed interiors evoke retro-futurist signage and Art Deco–influenced experimentation, giving text a kinetic, poster-like energy rather than a neutral reading voice.
The font appears intended as an expressive, geometric novelty display that prioritizes shape play and solid mass over conventional counterforms. By combining filled circular geometry with thin linear elements and strategic cutouts, it aims to create an instantly recognizable, graphic voice for modern-retro visual identities.
Legibility is driven by silhouette more than internal detail: several letters (and numerals) differentiate via distinctive bites, wedges, and asymmetric openings. The alphabet shows a consistent circle-and-stem logic across caps and lowercase, but with deliberately unconventional constructions that make the texture lively and unpredictable.
