A heavy display face built from blunt geometric masses and sharply cut notches, mixing circular bowls with faceted, wedge-like joins. Many counters are minimized or fully closed, creating solid silhouettes with occasional teardrop or slit-like apertures (notably in letters like R) and strong, triangular incisions in forms such as A, V, W, X, and Y. Curves are present but simplified into near-circular bowls, while terminals often end in crisp angles rather than rounded finishing, producing a jagged, hand-cut rhythm. Proportions vary noticeably across glyphs, with wide, graphic rounds (O, Q, 0, 8) contrasting against narrower verticals (I, l, 1) and irregular widths in the lowercase.
Best suited to short display settings where its solid shapes and irregular rhythm can act as the main visual voice—posters, event titles, album/cover art, punchy branding marks, and expressive packaging. It will read most clearly at medium to large sizes where the distinctive cut-ins and closed counters remain recognizable.
The overall tone is mischievous and attention-seeking, with a cut-paper, comic-horror energy that feels retro and slightly rebellious. Its collapsed interiors and dramatic notches give it a poster-like punch and a deliberately unconventional character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, largely solid letterforms and bold geometric cuts, trading conventional interior clarity for a distinctive, icon-like silhouette. It aims for a stylized, novelty display voice that stands out immediately and creates a strong, graphic texture in words.
The numeral set emphasizes strong silhouette recognition (especially the near-oval 0 and heavy, compact 8), while several letters lean on distinctive internal cuts rather than traditional counters for differentiation. The texture in running text becomes highly graphic, with dense black patches and spiky highlights created by the angular incisions.
