A heavy, geometric display face built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with smooth, soft corners and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes alternate between thick slab-like masses and very thin hairline cuts, creating a cut-in, high-contrast look that reads like negative-space carving rather than traditional modulation. The proportions are broad and low, with wide bowls, flattened curves, and a generally horizontal emphasis; joins are crisp while terminals stay rounded or blunt. Overall spacing feels dense, and the inner apertures are often small, producing a strong black silhouette in text.
Best suited for large-scale display typography such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics where its heavy silhouettes and carved-in contrasts stay clear. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when given ample leading and space, but it is not optimized for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font projects a bold, retro display energy with a playful, almost inflatable geometry. Its sharp hairline incisions add a sleek, stylized edge that feels poster-like and attention-seeking rather than neutral. The overall tone is confident and showy, suited to statements and headlines where impact matters.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through broad, rounded geometry paired with dramatic internal cut-ins, creating a distinctive, modernized-retro display voice. It prioritizes silhouette and rhythm over text neutrality, aiming to be instantly recognizable in branding and headline contexts.
In paragraphs the dark color and small interior openings can quickly become dense, so it benefits from generous line spacing and shorter runs of text. The distinctive thin notches and cut-ins are a key identifying motif that becomes especially noticeable at larger sizes and in all-caps settings.
