A heavy, geometric display face built from large, simplified forms with frequent cut-ins and notches that interrupt bowls, counters, and joins. Many characters rely on near-circular construction (C, G, O, e) paired with blunt, rectangular stems and flat terminals, creating a strong black mass and punchy rhythm. Counters are often reduced to small bites or collapsed entirely, and several glyphs use wedge-shaped apertures and triangular joins (notably A, M, V/W), giving the alphabet a sculpted, cut-paper feel. Spacing reads generous for a solid display, with clear, monolinear edges and a consistent, intentionally irregular silhouette language across cases and figures.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short display lines where its carved geometry and solid silhouette can dominate the layout. It can work well for branding elements, packaging, and event or entertainment graphics that benefit from a quirky, retro-leaning presence, but it is less appropriate for long passages or small sizes due to the collapsed openings.
The tone is bold and mischievous, mixing mid-century poster energy with a toy-like, pop-graphic attitude. The repeated "bite" motifs and blocked counters make it feel attention-seeking and slightly offbeat, suitable for designs that want personality more than refinement.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through bold, simplified shapes while adding character via consistent notching and reduced counters. It aims to read as a graphic object as much as text, offering a distinctive, memorable texture in display typography.
Legibility is strongest at headline sizes where the distinctive notches and reduced apertures read as stylistic detail rather than obstruction. The numerals and lowercase share the same carved, simplified logic, helping the font keep a cohesive voice across mixed-content settings.
