A geometric, sans-leaning design with mostly monoline strokes and rounded bowls, interrupted by small notches and breaks that read like stencil cuts or punch-outs. Curves are smooth but periodically “bite” inward at consistent points, creating a rhythmic, segmented texture across many letters and figures. Terminals are generally blunt, with a mix of straight and rounded joins, and the overall proportions stay simple and legible despite the deliberate interruptions.
Best suited to display settings where the cut-out texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a memorable quirk. It can work for short bursts of text or slogans, but the repeated notches may be distracting for long-form reading at small sizes.
The repeated cut-in details give the face a mischievous, handmade energy—clean and modern at a glance, but intentionally odd on closer inspection. It feels like a playful display sans with a subtle glitch/stencil attitude that keeps text lively and slightly unpredictable.
Likely designed to take a straightforward geometric base and inject character through systematic interruptions, creating a recognizable signature without relying on heavy contrast or extreme proportions. The goal appears to be a one-off, decorative voice that remains broadly legible while signaling playfulness and experimentation.
The notch motif appears broadly across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a distinctive pattern when set in longer lines. Spacing appears open enough for readability, but the internal cuts add visual noise that becomes a primary texture at larger sizes.
