A heavy, geometric display face built from simple, high-impact shapes: circles and half-circles paired with sharp triangular cuts and flat, squared terminals. Many letters show deliberate notches and missing bites—often at corners or along bowls—creating a stencil-like silhouette and collapsing some counters into solid forms. Curves are broad and smooth, while diagonals and apexes (A, V, W, Y) read as crisp wedges, producing a strong cut-paper rhythm. Spacing and widths feel irregular by design, with compact joins and blocky proportions that emphasize silhouette over internal detail.
Best suited to large-format display work such as posters, punchy headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, and short branded phrases where the carved shapes can read clearly. It can add character to titles and labels, but is less appropriate for extended text or small UI sizes where the collapsed interiors and notches may reduce clarity.
The tone is bold and graphic with a playful, retro-futurist attitude. Its mix of rounded mass and sharp incisions feels like signage, toys, or mid-century display lettering, projecting energy and a slightly mischievous personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence through solid mass and simplified geometry, while injecting personality via systematic cutouts and stencil-like breaks. It prioritizes memorable silhouettes and a graphic motif that remains consistent across the alphabet and figures.
Legibility is driven primarily by outer contours; several glyphs rely on iconic shape cues rather than open counters, especially at smaller sizes. The distinctive triangular cutouts become a key identifying motif across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive despite its intentionally quirky construction.
