A heavy, geometric display face built from simplified circles, rectangles, and sharp triangles, with frequent wedge cut-ins and notches that create a carved, stencil-like rhythm. Counters are often minimized or collapsed into small slits and apertures, while many curves terminate in crisp diagonal bites that emphasize high-contrast interior shaping. The construction feels modular and deliberately uneven in detail from glyph to glyph, with some letters reading as near-solid silhouettes and others defined by small internal cuts and stepped joins. Numerals and capitals share the same bold, sculpted silhouette logic, producing strong, blocky forms that hold together as graphic shapes more than conventional text characters.
Best suited to display typography where large sizes can showcase the carved details—posters, headlines, branding marks, and packaging. It also works well for short, punchy phrases in editorial or promotional layouts where a strong graphic voice is desired.
The overall tone is playful and attention-grabbing, with a retro-futurist, sign-like character driven by bold silhouettes and unexpected cutouts. Its sharp wedges and near-solid masses give it a punchy, poster-ready energy that can feel both toy-like and techno depending on context.
The font appears designed to function as a solid, sculptural display face: a set of bold geometric silhouettes enlivened by strategic cutouts to create character differentiation and a distinctive, modern-novelty texture.
Legibility relies on distinctive outer silhouettes and the placement of small apertures, so readability can drop at small sizes or in dense paragraphs. The design’s visual interest comes from the repeated diagonal incisions and triangle motifs, which create a consistent texture across mixed-case settings.
