A heavy, geometric display sans with compact proportions and broad, solid strokes. Forms are built from simple circles, triangles, and blocky rectangles, with frequent angled notches and bite-like cut-ins that create a stencil-ish, constructed feel. Counters are generally small; several letters use distinctive circular or dot-like counters, while others rely on sharp internal corners for definition. The overall rhythm is punchy and irregular in a controlled way, with simplified joins and occasional asymmetrical cuts that keep the silhouettes lively at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and short display lines where its bold silhouettes and cut-in details can be appreciated. It works well for packaging, event graphics, and signage that aims for a retro, playful tone, but is less appropriate for long text or small UI sizes due to tight counters and heavy ink density.
The design reads as bold and playful, evoking mid-century signage and toy packaging more than sober editorial typography. Its quirky cut-ins and exaggerated geometry give it a friendly, game-like personality with a slightly mischievous edge.
The letterforms appear intended as a distinctive display face: maximizing impact through heavy geometry while adding recognition via consistent notches and circular counter motifs. The design choices favor memorable silhouettes and a lively rhythm over typographic neutrality.
Round letters like C/G/O/Q emphasize near-circular bowls punctuated by deliberate gaps, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) lean on broad triangular masses. Numerals share the same chunky construction, with prominent diagonals and simplified inner spaces that prioritize silhouette over fine detail.
