A heavy, geometric display face built from compact, blocky forms with frequent rounded bowls and abrupt, cut-in notches. Many glyphs show deliberate corner bites and small rectangular incursions that collapse or obscure counters, producing solid silhouettes with occasional keyhole-like details. Curves are simple and near-circular, while straights are broad and rectangular; joins and terminals tend to end in flat cuts rather than tapered finishes. Spacing and rhythm feel dense, with strong mass and tight internal differentiation that becomes more unified at smaller sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, packaging, and bold social graphics where the solid shapes can function as graphic elements. It works especially well at large sizes and with ample line spacing, where the notches and collapsed counters read as intentional character rather than noise.
The overall tone is loud and playful, with a toy-block or cut-paper feel that reads as intentionally oddball rather than neutral. Its chunky solids and unexpected notches suggest a retro display sensibility—part gamey, part poster-like—favoring impact over refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a distinctive, irregular construction language—using filled interiors and notched cuts to turn familiar letterforms into bold, emblem-like shapes for display use.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent silhouette logic, but several letters lean on simplified construction and filled-in interiors that reduce traditional readability cues. Numerals match the same chunky geometry, keeping a strong, uniform color on the line and a distinctly graphic presence.
