A heavy, rounded display face built from compact geometric forms with soft corners and mostly monoline construction. Many characters feature deliberate cut-ins and notches that partially close counters and create stencil-like joints, producing a rhythmic pattern of wedges and gaps across the set. Bowls are broad and circular (notably in O, Q, 8), while joins and terminals tend to be squared-off or diagonally sliced, giving the silhouettes a carved, modular feel. The overall texture is dense and highly graphic, with simplified interior spaces that read as filled or collapsed in several glyphs.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, logos, and bold packaging where its cutout details can be appreciated. It can also work for playful signage or branding that benefits from a chunky, graphic wordshape rather than fine typographic nuance.
The tone is bold, cheeky, and slightly mischievous—more cartoon title than conventional typography. The repeated notches and near-closed counters add a “cutout” personality that feels retro and toy-like, with a playful edge rather than a formal voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a distinctive cut-and-carve signature, using simplified interior spaces and repeated notches to create a memorable, novelty display texture. It prioritizes personality and silhouette-driven recognition over traditional readability in long text.
Because many apertures and counters are reduced, differentiation relies heavily on outer silhouettes and the recurring notch motif; the design reads strongest at larger sizes where the cuts remain clear. Numerals and punctuation in the sample show the same chunky, cutout logic, reinforcing a consistent, poster-oriented rhythm.
