A rounded, monoline sans with a deliberately interrupted, cutout construction. Strokes are thick and softly terminated, with frequent small gaps and notch-like bite marks that break otherwise simple geometric forms. Counters are open and irregularly segmented, giving letters a patched or stenciled feel while keeping overall shapes compact and readable. The spacing and character widths are consistent and gridlike, reinforcing a systematic rhythm despite the intentionally uneven interior cuts.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its cutout texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, packaging accents, event or party flyers, and playful branding. It can also work for pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts, but is less appropriate for long-form text where the repeated interruptions may become visually busy.
The repeated breaks and notches create a playful, slightly chaotic tone—like letters assembled from tape, foam, or hand-cut vinyl. It reads as humorous and attention-seeking, with a crafty, offbeat personality that feels more experimental than formal.
The design intent appears to be creating a coherent, monospaced display voice that feels handmade and unconventional, using consistent rounded strokes paired with systematic breaks to produce a memorable, decorative texture in both single words and blocks of text.
The distinctive cutouts appear across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, forming a recognizable texture in running text. The design favors bold silhouettes and rounded joints, so the “damage” reads as decorative detail rather than thin distressing; at smaller sizes those interior gaps may visually fill in.
