A highly stylized sans with a geometric backbone and frequent interior collapse: many bowls and counters are intentionally filled, reduced to slits, or replaced by small “eye” cutouts. Strokes are generally monolinear and upright, mixing hard, straight terminals with generous curves and circular forms. Several characters toggle between outline-like rings and solid fills, creating a variable rhythm across the alphabet. Letterforms lean toward simplified, poster-friendly silhouettes, with occasional sharp joins and wedge-like diagonals that add a cut-paper, constructed feel.
Best suited to display typography: headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its blocked counters and graphic silhouettes read as intentional personality. It can also work for short labels, titles, and merchandise graphics where strong shapes matter more than continuous text readability.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, reading as retro-futurist and slightly mischievous due to the eye-shaped counters and alternating solid/outlined motifs. It feels more illustrative than utilitarian, designed to catch attention and inject character rather than disappear into body copy.
The design intent appears to be a novelty display face that plays with counterforms—alternating between filled bowls, outline rings, and tiny internal cutouts—to produce a bold, memorable texture. Its constructed geometry and deliberate irregularities suggest a font made for expressive branding and attention-grabbing editorial moments.
Because counters are often minimized or fully closed, legibility depends on size and context; the distinctive ‘eye’ apertures and ringed forms become clearer at display sizes. The mix of solid and outlined gestures can create lively texture in headlines, but may appear uneven if set in long passages.
