A heavy, display-oriented alphabet built from simple geometric masses—circles, wedges, and straight-sided blocks—with many counters deliberately collapsed or reduced to slits and notches. Curves are broad and soft, while key joins and terminals are cut with crisp triangular bites, creating a consistent “carved” rhythm across letters. Proportions skew wide in round letters (O, Q) and more compressed in vertical forms, producing an intentionally uneven, sculptural texture. Lowercase maintains the same solid construction, with compact bowls, minimal apertures, and simplified forms that prioritize silhouette over internal detail.
Best suited for short, large-size settings where its bold silhouettes and cutout details can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront or event signage, packaging, and logo marks. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or titles, but is less appropriate for dense body copy due to the intentionally reduced interior clarity.
The overall tone is bold and whimsical, evoking mid-century modern sign lettering and playful cut-paper shapes. Its filled-in interiors and pronounced notches give it a slightly mysterious, mask-like character that reads as retro-futurist and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to create maximum impact with minimal internal detail, using a consistent system of notches and collapsed counters to turn familiar letterforms into bold graphic shapes. It aims for a decorative, retro-leaning display voice that reads as both geometric and idiosyncratic.
Legibility is driven primarily by outer contours: letters such as a/e/s and some numerals rely on distinctive cutouts to differentiate forms. The dotted i/j use prominent circular dots, and the rounded figures (notably 8 and 9) emphasize solid mass with small, strategic openings.
