A heavy, geometric display sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Many strokes feature deliberate triangular notches and cut-ins that create a stencil-like, segmented feeling while preserving a solid, blocky silhouette. Curves are boldly rounded (notably in C, G, O, S) and are paired with sharp diagonal wedges in letters like A, K, M, N, V, W, X, and Z, giving the design a rhythmic mix of soft bowls and angular joins. Terminals are generally blunt and flat, with consistent weight and minimal modulation, producing strong, poster-ready shapes and high ink coverage.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact settings such as posters, event graphics, packaging, title cards, and logo wordmarks. It performs well when set large, where the notches and geometric joins remain legible and contribute to the visual identity; for long text or small sizes, the dense counters and cut-ins may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is lively and unconventional—part retro sign lettering, part playful cut-paper geometry. The recurring notches and chunky forms add personality and motion, making the font feel energetic, quirky, and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or corporate.
The design intent appears to be a characterful display sans that stands apart through consistent geometric carving—using notches and wedge-like joins to add novelty while retaining a strong, simplified silhouette. It aims for memorable branding and retro-tinged impact rather than quiet readability.
The distinctive cut-in details show up across both uppercase and lowercase, helping maintain a cohesive voice in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same notched, high-impact approach, with especially stylized forms that read as display-first. Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for large sizes where the interior cut shapes and joins remain clear.
