A heavy, block-based display face built from blunt geometric forms and rounded curves, with frequent notches, stepped corners, and occasional inset cuts that create a quasi-stencil rhythm. Counters are often reduced or collapsed into small slits and punched shapes, producing dense silhouettes and a strong black footprint. Curves tend toward circular bowls (O, C, Q, o, e) while many joins and terminals resolve into flat, squared ends; diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) use thick wedges with angular intersections. Overall spacing and letter widths vary by glyph, giving the alphabet an intentionally irregular, cutout feel while maintaining consistent stroke mass and cap height alignment.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, labels, and signage where the dense silhouettes can read as graphic shapes. It performs especially well at large sizes on simple backgrounds, where the notches and collapsed counters remain clear and contribute to the overall texture.
The font reads as bold and graphic with a playful, constructed personality—somewhere between arcade-era signage, toy packaging, and hand-cut lettering. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky interior cuts add a mischievous, slightly industrial edge without feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a deliberately irregular, cut-paper or molded-plastic character. By collapsing many interior openings and introducing stepped cuts, it prioritizes bold pattern and personality over conventional text readability.
Distinctive details include a stepped, angular E; a G with an internal cut and spur; and numerals that favor simplified, emblem-like shapes (notably 0 with a small slit counter). The punctuation shown in the sample text appears minimal and solid, reinforcing the dense, poster-oriented texture.
