A heavy, slab-influenced display face with compact proportions, rounded curves, and blunt terminals. The letterforms are built from thick, simplified strokes, then interrupted by consistent interior “bites” and horizontal/vertical notches that read like cutouts, creating a segmented, stencil-like rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are generally small and rounded (notably in O, Q, and numerals), and the overall geometry mixes squarish slabs with soft curves for a bold, graphic silhouette. The repeated cut-in shapes and stepped joins produce a strong pattern at text sizes, with a slightly uneven, decorative cadence rather than a smooth continuous stroke flow.
Best suited to short, large-setting applications where the cutout details can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and event or promotional graphics. It can work for punchy subheads or emphasis, but the strong internal notching makes extended small-size text less comfortable than more conventional slabs.
The tone is lively and attention-grabbing, with a retro novelty flavor and a hint of playful eccentricity. Its engineered cutouts and chunky massing feel theatrical and poster-forward, more about personality and pattern than quiet readability.
The design appears intended to merge a bold slab backbone with a repeated decorative cutout motif, creating a recognizable texture that stays consistent across the character set. The goal seems to be maximum impact and memorability, delivering a patterned, retro-leaning display voice.
The distinctive notches are applied broadly across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a consistent banded texture. Numerals are similarly robust and stylized, with enclosed forms (like 8 and 9) staying compact and high-contrast in silhouette due to the cut-ins.
