A heavy, block-first slab serif with broad proportions and strongly squared silhouettes. The defining feature is a consistent set of inset cutouts and notches that carve through stems, bowls, and crossbars, creating a stencil-like, segmented construction. Corners read mostly square but are visually softened by rounded interior joins and pill-shaped counters, producing a chunky, high-ink look with crisp, engineered negative space. Spacing appears built for impact, with compact internal counters that keep forms dense and poster-ready.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where the cutout detailing can be appreciated. It also fits themed signage or event graphics that benefit from an industrial-stencil or retro fabricated look, especially in short phrases and large point sizes.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing, mixing industrial signage energy with a quirky, toy-like charm. Its repeated cutout motif adds a mechanical, fabricated feel—like stamped metal or die-cut lettering—while the rounded apertures keep it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through heavy slabs and a distinctive internal cutout system, creating a recognizable texture across words. It aims to evoke manufactured, stencil-derived forms while remaining playful and contemporary in rhythm.
The notch pattern is applied broadly across the character set, giving strong branding cohesion but also adding visual noise at small sizes. The density of black areas and tight counters make it most legible when set with generous size and breathing room.
