A heavy, display-oriented sans with broad proportions and a geometric, largely monoline skeleton that’s interrupted by sharp internal cut-ins and occasional hairline connectors. Counters are generously sized and often circular or near-circular, while terminals tend to be flat and abrupt, emphasizing a blocky silhouette. Several glyphs incorporate distinctive wedge-shaped notches and thin diagonal or vertical slivers that read like deliberate “slices” through the forms, creating a rhythmic, collage-like texture across words. Numerals and caps maintain a consistent mass and footprint, giving headlines a dense, poster-ready color.
Well suited to big headlines, poster typography, and brand marks that need an immediately recognizable texture. It can also work for packaging and editorial display settings where its cutout details can be appreciated, while longer passages are likely better reserved for short bursts such as pull quotes or subheads.
The overall tone feels mischievous and energetic, with a handcrafted, experimental edge. The cutout-like details add a sense of motion and surprise, steering the voice toward retro display and contemporary editorial playfulness rather than neutral UI restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, signature surface—pairing bold, simple geometry with intentional cuts and hairline accents to make otherwise familiar sans forms feel custom and expressive.
Because the characteristic cut-ins and hairline breaks are part of the letter identities, they become a prominent pattern in running text and at tighter spacing. The design’s strong black shapes and high internal contrast suggest it will read best when given room to breathe and set at larger sizes.
