A heavy, geometric display face built from large, solid masses with frequent triangular notches and wedge cuts. Curves are simplified into near-circular bowls, while many joins and terminals resolve into hard angles, creating a modular, cut-paper silhouette. Counters are often minimized or collapsed, and several glyphs rely on strategic bite-outs to suggest interior structure, producing a bold, high-impact texture. The rhythm is intentionally irregular across characters, with distinctive, blocky proportions and abrupt transitions that emphasize shape over traditional letterform logic.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as posters, brand marks, packaging, and title treatments where the distinctive cutout geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for short, high-contrast bursts of text—taglines, labels, or interface banners—when legibility demands are moderate and personality is the priority.
The overall tone is playful and attention-seeking, mixing mid-century display energy with a puzzle-like, constructed feel. Its crisp cutouts and chunky forms read as cheeky and slightly futuristic, giving headlines a confident, graphic personality.
The design appears intended to create maximum impact with minimal interior detail, using solid shapes and strategic cutaways to imply letterforms. The goal is a memorable, graphic voice that feels constructed and decorative rather than conventional, optimized for standout branding and expressive headlines.
The font’s signature comes from repeated triangular incisions (notably in forms like C, G, S, V/W/X/Y/Z) and flattened bowls that can make similar shapes feel intentionally stylized. At smaller sizes, the collapsed counters and dense fills can reduce letter differentiation, while at larger sizes the silhouette details become the primary visual interest.
