A heavy, geometric display face built from simple primitives—circles, rectangles, and triangles—combined with sharp notches and cut-ins that create a stencil-like rhythm. Counters are frequently collapsed or implied rather than fully open, producing solid silhouettes with distinctive bite-shaped terminals. Curves are broad and smooth where present, contrasted by abrupt angular joins and triangular wedges (notably in V/W/X/Y forms), giving the alphabet a modular, constructed feel. Spacing and sidebearings read intentionally inconsistent to match the irregular, logo-forward character rather than text uniformity.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and titles where silhouette recognition matters more than continuous readability. It also works well for themed graphics and display typography that benefits from a bold, symbol-like presence.
The tone is bold and graphic with a playful, slightly cryptic personality—part retro-futurist, part toy-block geometry. Its sculpted cutouts add motion and attitude, making words feel like symbols or signage rather than conventional reading text.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact through solid shapes and minimal interior detail, using geometric cut-ins to keep characters distinct while maintaining a cohesive, modular system. It prioritizes iconic letterforms and a strong texture for display use over conventional text ergonomics.
Round letters (O/Q/0/8/9) emphasize mass and symmetry, while many straight-sided glyphs rely on corner notches to differentiate shapes. Numerals are simplified and emblematic, matching the same solid/negative-cut construction as the letters.
