A heavy, geometric display face built from simple circular and rectangular masses, with frequent triangular bites and notches that carve into strokes and bowls. Many counters are reduced or fully closed, creating solid silhouettes with occasional cut-in apertures for differentiation. Terminals alternate between blunt slabs and sharp diagonal cuts, giving the letterforms a clipped, stencil-like rhythm. Proportions lean wide and compact, with rounded bowls on forms like O/C/G balanced by angular joins and hard corners in K/M/N/W/Z, producing a strong, blocky texture in lines of text.
Best suited to large-scale display work where the carved silhouettes and closed counters can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for logo wordmarks and short, high-contrast statements where a distinctive, retro-quirky voice is desired.
The overall tone is playful and quirky, with a mid‑century/retro poster feel driven by bold silhouettes and decorative cutouts. Its chunky shapes read as friendly and attention-grabbing, while the sharp notches add a mischievous, puzzle-like character.
The font appears designed to prioritize iconic, cutout-like silhouettes over conventional counter structure, using notches and filled interiors to create a memorable, decorative texture. The intent reads as a stylized display face for branding and poster typography, where novelty and impact are more important than continuous text readability.
The design’s distinguishing feature is its systematic use of internal cut-ins and collapsed openings, which increases impact but can reduce clarity at small sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same carved, silhouette-first logic, keeping the set visually consistent in headlines and short statements.
