A geometric display face built from sharp, monoline strokes paired with heavy, circular and semicircular fills. Many counters are intentionally collapsed or blocked, creating bold black discs and wedges inside otherwise slender letter skeletons. Curves are clean and near-perfectly round, while joins tend to be crisp, with occasional angled terminals and long, hairline-like stems. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with frequent use of ball terminals and asymmetrical cut-ins that emphasize a constructed, modular feel.
Best suited for display settings where its bold internal fills and hairline strokes can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and editorial feature titles. It can also work for short pull quotes or signage where a decorative, high-impact word shape is the priority over sustained text readability.
The overall tone is stylized and graphic, mixing retro modernism with a playful, slightly mischievous edge. Its filled shapes read like spotlight dots or inlaid tiles, giving the alphabet a decorative, poster-ready personality that feels both vintage and futuristic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret geometric lettering with dramatic counter treatment, using collapsed interiors and circular masses to create an unmistakable, ornamental word image. It prioritizes distinctive texture and visual memorability over conventional, open-counter clarity.
Legibility relies on silhouette more than interior detail: several letters use minimal strokes plus large filled forms, and some bowls/counters are treated as solid shapes rather than open spaces. The rhythm alternates between delicate linework and abrupt blocks, producing strong texture in words and making the typeface more impactful at larger sizes.
