A heavy, display-oriented sans with chunky silhouettes and a sculpted, cut-paper construction. Letterforms are built from large geometric masses with frequent triangular bites, wedges, and small notches that interrupt curves and terminals, producing a faceted, stencil-like rhythm. Counters are minimal or collapsed in several glyphs, while bowls often read as near-solid discs with sharp cut-ins (notably in C/G/S and the numerals). Proportions skew broad with short extenders and a compact vertical build; joins and corners alternate between blunt flats and crisp angles, giving the set a deliberately irregular, modular consistency rather than smooth typographic refinement.
Best suited to large sizes where its carved notches and geometric interruptions can be appreciated—posters, bold headlines, branding marks, and graphic packaging. It also works well for short, high-impact phrases and stylized title treatments where texture and silhouette matter more than long-form legibility.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, combining a mid-century/Art Deco poster vibe with a playful, toy-block attitude. Its sharp cut-ins and near-solid bowls make it feel energetic and slightly cryptic—more like a graphic symbol set than a conventional text face.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact through near-solid letterforms and repeated angular cut-ins, creating a distinctive, patterned voice for display typography. It prioritizes recognizability at a glance and decorative rhythm over conventional counter clarity, aiming for a branded, emblematic look.
Distinctive triangular motifs recur across caps and lowercase (V/W/X/Y/Z and the wedge-cut curves), creating strong patterning in headlines. In continuous text, the dense black color and collapsed interiors dominate, so spacing and word shapes become the primary carriers of readability.
