A very heavy display face built from chunky geometric forms with rounded outer curves and frequent internal cut-ins that read as stencil-like notches or ink-trap slits. Counters are often small or partially occluded, creating strong figure/ground interplay (notably in C, G, O, Q, S, and many numerals). Strokes are mostly monoline at this weight, but the deliberate carving introduces sharp contrast between solid masses and thin negative apertures. The rhythm is irregular by design, with asymmetric terminals and occasional wedge or scoop-shaped joins that give each glyph a distinctive silhouette while maintaining overall visual consistency.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, branding marks, packaging, and event promotions where the notched shapes can be appreciated. It can also work for short phrases on apparel or social graphics, but is less appropriate for long-form reading due to its intentionally obstructed counters.
The tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a retro sign-painting/cartoon energy driven by exaggerated black shapes and unexpected cutouts. It feels attention-seeking and humorous rather than formal, projecting a DIY, experimental character that’s meant to be noticed at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, one-off display voice by combining heavy geometric construction with playful internal cutaways. Those cuts function as a signature motif—adding texture, movement, and a slightly stencil-like feel—while keeping the overall forms simple and graphic for high-impact use.
The carved apertures can reduce interior clarity, especially in dense text or at smaller sizes, so it reads best when given room to breathe. Numerals and rounded letters show the strongest personality, where the horizontal slits and oval counters create a distinctive “masked” look.
