A geometric display face built from bold, solid silhouettes with frequent cut-ins and missing counters. Forms alternate between strict vertical/horizontal stems and sharp triangular wedges, creating a rhythmic, almost stencil-like construction. Curves tend toward near-circular bowls that are interrupted by flat slices, notches, and teardrop-like terminals, while many letters rely on simplified, emblematic geometry rather than traditional internal spaces. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, reinforcing a collage of shapes that still shares a consistent thickness and hard-edged finish.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging fronts, and display signage where its sculpted silhouettes can read as graphic shapes. It will be most effective at larger sizes and in layouts that can accommodate its irregular letter widths and reduced internal detail.
The overall tone feels distinctly Art Deco and retro-futurist: graphic, theatrical, and a bit whimsical. The collapsed interiors and carved shapes read like signage or cut paper, giving the text a bold, poster-ready personality that prioritizes visual punch over conventional readability.
The design appears intended to translate letterforms into bold pictographic shapes, using carved notches and wedge cuts to maintain differentiation without relying on traditional counters. It aims for a period-inflected display look that feels built, cut, or assembled from simple geometric primitives.
Counters are often fully filled or reduced to small incisions, so characters differentiate through distinctive bites and directional wedges (notably in round letters and diagonals). Numerals and capitals present as strong icons, while some lowercase letters lean more minimal and linear, creating an intentional contrast between solid masses and spare strokes.
