A heavy, geometric display face built from broad, rounded forms and flat terminals, with frequent semicircular cuts and wedge-like notches that carve into strokes. Counters are often reduced or partially closed, creating solid-looking silhouettes with occasional small punched openings (notably in letters like O/Q and some lowercase forms). The rhythm is bold and compact, with simplified construction and intentional interruptions at joins and curves that give many glyphs a segmented, cut-out feel. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky logic, while the lowercase keeps a similarly stout structure with single-story shapes and minimal interior space.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, and packaging where the solid mass and carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for short, high-impact phrases in album covers, event graphics, or playful branding systems that benefit from a bold, graphic texture.
The overall tone is playful and attention-grabbing, mixing a friendly rounded geometry with an intentionally odd, cut-and-collaged character. It reads as retro-futuristic and toy-like, with a mischievous, comic edge created by the recurring notches and collapsed counters.
The design appears intended to create a highly graphic, memorable word shape by combining rounded, geometric construction with deliberate cut-outs and partially closed counters. The goal seems less about continuous reading comfort and more about producing a distinctive, emblematic presence that holds up in strong contrast and simplified layouts.
Legibility is strongest at headline sizes where the distinctive cut-ins and closed interiors read as stylistic detail rather than missing structure. In dense text or small sizes, the reduced counters and similar silhouettes between some letters can make words feel more abstract and pattern-driven.
