A heavy, geometric sans with softened corners and an intentionally irregular, cutout-like construction. Many counters are reduced to dots or fully collapsed, producing solid interior masses and distinctive “punched” notches at joins and terminals. Curves are broad and circular (notably in O, Q, and numerals), while straight strokes stay blocky and compact, creating a dense, high-impact rhythm. The lowercase follows the same simplified logic, with single-storey forms and sturdy stems; overall spacing feels tight and display-oriented.
Best suited for short, high-contrast applications such as headlines, posters, album art, branding marks, and packaging where the solid, counterless forms can read as a bold graphic statement. It can also work for playful UI badges or titles, but is less appropriate for long passages or small text where the collapsed counters reduce legibility.
The collapsed counters and chunky geometry give the face a playful, toy-like energy with a slightly mischievous, offbeat tone. It reads as bold and attention-grabbing, leaning toward retro sign lettering and novelty packaging where character matters more than conventional readability.
The font appears designed to turn a basic geometric sans structure into a graphic, counter-collapsing display style—prioritizing silhouette, weight, and novelty texture over traditional internal letterspace. Its consistent use of filled bowls and dot-like openings suggests an intention to create a distinctive, stamp/cutout aesthetic that remains uniform across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The design’s signature is its counter treatment: bowls and apertures are frequently replaced by small circular dots or sealed entirely, which makes similar shapes (like O/0 and some rounded letters) feel intentionally ambiguous at smaller sizes. The Q features an exaggerated, flat tail/underline-like stroke that adds a logo-style flourish. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown in the samples, so the visual system is assessed from letters and figures only.
