A heavy, geometric display face built from simple modules—circles, half-circles, rectangles, and sharp triangular cuts. Most counters are collapsed, so letters read as solid silhouettes with occasional notches and bite-like intrusions that suggest a stencil logic. Terminals are predominantly flat and squared, while curves are clean and circular, creating a strong round-vs-angular contrast. Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally irregular across glyphs, with wide forms (like O/Q) sitting alongside tightly cut shapes and pointed diagonals (V/W/X/Y), producing a punchy, poster-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding marks where the silhouette-driven letterforms can read cleanly. It can also work for packaging and short, punchy statements, especially in high-contrast layouts that emphasize its solid, cutout geometry.
The tone is bold and graphic with a playful, retro-futurist flavor. Its cutout geometry and simplified silhouettes give it a constructed, emblematic feel—more logo and headline than body text. The overall impression is confident and quirky, with a slightly industrial, stencil-signage edge.
The design appears aimed at creating a highly graphic, easily recognizable display voice by collapsing counters and emphasizing modular geometry. The consistent use of circular segments and triangular cut-ins suggests an intention to feel engineered and stylized rather than traditionally typographic, prioritizing impact and distinctive texture in short text.
Legibility relies on distinctive outer shapes rather than internal counters, so recognition improves at larger sizes where the notches and triangular incisions are clear. Diagonals and wedges are a key motif, showing up strongly in A, M, V, W, X, and Y and carrying through the numeral set.
