A heavy, geometric display face built from chunky blocks with frequent triangular cuts, notches, and clipped corners. Curves are simplified into near-circular bowls and rounded terminals, while many joins and counters are intentionally collapsed or implied, creating solid silhouettes with internal voids reduced to small bites. The alphabet mixes straight-sided forms with wedge-like diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y shapes), producing a punchy, modular rhythm. Overall spacing feels generous and the letterforms read as constructed shapes rather than traditional stroke-based glyphs.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, title cards, and logo wordmarks where its sculpted silhouettes can be appreciated. It also fits playful branding, packaging, and event or entertainment graphics, especially when paired with simple supporting type.
The tone is bold and mischievous, with a retro-futurist, arcade-like personality. Its cutout geometry and exaggerated mass make it feel playful and slightly cryptic, like signage built from assembled pieces or carved blocks.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence through solid, simplified forms and a consistent system of geometric cutouts. By collapsing counters and relying on silhouette and notches for recognition, it prioritizes distinctive display character over conventional readability.
Many characters rely on distinctive cutouts to maintain differentiation (e.g., C/G/S and several lowercase forms), so clarity improves at larger sizes where the notches and bites are easier to perceive. The numeral set continues the same carved-block logic, with strong silhouettes and minimal interior detail.
