A heavy, compact display face built from broad, rounded blocks with soft corners and frequent straight cut-ins. Many characters show small rectangular “bites” or notch-like interruptions along stems and shoulders, creating a chiseled, stencil-adjacent rhythm despite the otherwise solid, filled forms. Curves are swollen and simplified, counters are minimized or fully closed in several letters, and joins tend to read as thick masses rather than crisp transitions. The overall silhouette stays consistent across the set, with a strong baseline presence and large, simple shapes that favor impact over internal detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, packaging fronts, logos, and merchandise graphics. It can work for playful branding and display copy where strong silhouettes and a quirky cutout detail are more important than small-size readability.
The tone is bold and mischievous, with a friendly, toy-block energy that leans retro and slightly cartoonish. The recurring notches add a handmade, cutout feel, giving the letters a quirky personality that feels more like graphic shapes than traditional typography.
The design appears intended as a characterful, silhouette-driven display font that turns letterforms into bold graphic icons. By collapsing interior space and adding consistent notch cuts, it aims for instant visual identity and a playful, irregular texture in large-scale use.
At text sizes the collapsed interiors and chunky geometry make words read as dark textures, while the distinctive notches remain the primary identifying feature. The figures follow the same swollen, simplified construction, emphasizing silhouette recognition over conventional counter clarity.
