A geometric sans with deliberately collapsed counters and frequent solid shapes in place of interior openings. Letterforms mix clean, even strokes with abrupt cut-ins and wedge-like notches that create an ink-trap-like, stencil-adjacent feeling without fully breaking the shapes. Round characters (O, o, 0) read as near-solid discs, while many bowls (B, D, P, R, a, b, d, p, q) become heavy, simplified masses. Curves are broadly rounded, terminals tend to be blunt or slightly tapered, and the overall spacing and rhythm feel uneven in a purposeful, display-oriented way.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as logos, posters, headlines, packaging, and album/cover graphics where its dense silhouettes can act as a visual motif. It can also work for playful branding and large typographic statements, but the collapsed interiors make it less suitable for long passages or small sizes.
The solidified interiors and simplified geometry give the font a punchy, toy-like personality that feels humorous and attention-seeking. It carries a retro-futurist, pop-graphic tone—more about silhouette and pattern than conventional readability—resulting in a quirky, experimental voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through the lens of solid, counter-collapsed forms, prioritizing striking texture and immediate recognizability. By trading traditional apertures for filled shapes and sharp cut-ins, it aims to deliver a distinctive display voice that reads as both minimal and mischievous.
Distinctive signature moments include the near-black ‘O/o/0’ shapes, a single-storey ‘a’ with a large filled bowl, and a ‘g’ that reads as a heavy, closed form with a small ear-like terminal. In text, the repeated solid counters create strong spotting and texture, making negative space behave more like decorative cutouts than open apertures.
