A heavy, monoline sans with rounded terminals and softened corners throughout. Many strokes include deliberate cut-ins and gaps, creating a stencil-like, notched construction that repeats consistently across curves and joins. Counters are generally open and circular/oval, with simplified geometry and a steady stroke rhythm that reads cleanly at display sizes. The overall texture is chunky and even, with distinctive interruptions in forms like C, G, O, S, and several lowercase letters, giving the alphabet a modular, engineered feel.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and branding where the notched construction can be appreciated and used as a visual motif. It also works well on packaging and short display lines, especially in modern-retro or tech-themed layouts. For longer passages, the repeated gaps can become visually insistent, so it’s strongest as an accent or display face.
The repeated notches and rounded geometry give the font a playful, retro-futuristic tone—part toy-like, part industrial. It feels friendly and approachable, but also slightly mechanical due to the systematic breaks and simplified structure. The result is quirky and characterful without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to merge a rounded, approachable sans skeleton with a systematic cutout treatment that adds identity and a sense of engineered modularity. The consistent placement of breaks suggests a focus on creating a memorable, branded texture rather than neutral text performance.
The notches behave like intentional ink traps or stencil bridges, and they create a recognizable signature in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals are similarly rounded and simplified, matching the headline-oriented, graphic rhythm of the letters. The distinctive construction becomes more prominent as text size increases, where the gaps read as decorative detailing rather than loss of stroke continuity.
