A heavy, block-built display face with squared geometry softened by broad curves and frequent wedge-like notches. Many joins and terminals show deliberate cut-ins—small rectangular and triangular bites that create a stenciled, ink-trap feel and give the forms a slightly irregular rhythm. Counters are generally tight and often reduced, with several letters showing closed or nearly closed interior spaces; curves are bold and smooth while corners tend to be chamfered or clipped rather than sharp. The overall texture is dense and poster-forward, with pronounced shapes that hold together as solid silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a dense, high-impact silhouette is an advantage. It works well for short phrases, title treatments, and playful branding applications where the distinctive notches and collapsed counters can be read at larger sizes.
The tone is loud and playful, leaning into a retro, cartoonish sensibility that feels engineered for attention. The notched detailing adds a quirky, constructed character—part industrial, part toy-like—making the voice feel bold, fun, and slightly mischievous rather than formal.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch through solid, simplified forms while using consistent notches and cut-ins to keep characters distinct. Its constructed detailing suggests a goal of combining retro display mass with a quirky, engineered personality for attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters (like O/Q) read as thick disks with minimal interior relief, while angular letters (like E/F/T) keep strong rectangular massing with small cut-ins for differentiation. Numerals follow the same chunky logic, emphasizing silhouette over internal detail, which increases impact but makes fine-size readability secondary.
