A compact display sans with chunky, tapered strokes and frequent interior notches that create a carved, stencil-like feel. Curves are squarish and slightly pinched, with counters that read as rounded rectangles or teardrops, giving letters a rhythmic in-and-out silhouette. Many joins and terminals flare subtly, producing a dynamic, sculpted texture across words. The overall construction is consistent and heavy, with distinctive cut-ins that add contrast and keep forms from feeling purely monoline.
Best used for posters, headlines, and branding where the sculpted shapes can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits packaging and event promotions that benefit from a quirky, retro-graphic voice. For longer passages, it works most effectively in short bursts (titles, pull quotes, or labels) to avoid texture fatigue.
The font projects a playful, retro-modern personality with a hint of theatrical signage. Its chiseled notches and bouncy shapes feel energetic and slightly eccentric, turning even short words into graphic elements. The tone is more fun and characterful than neutral, suited to attention-grabbing moments.
Likely designed as a high-impact display face that blends simple sans geometry with carved, decorative cut-ins to create instant recognizability. The consistent notching and flared terminals suggest an aim to evoke sign lettering and vintage display typography while maintaining a clean, sans-based skeleton.
Round letters like O and Q emphasize the carved effect through inset counters and pronounced side pinch, while diagonals (K, X, Z) keep a strong geometric presence. In text, the repeated notching creates a patterned texture that is recognizable at a glance, but can become visually busy if overused at small sizes.
