A heavy, modular display face built from bold geometric masses with frequent cut-ins and notches that collapse counters and create a stencil-like silhouette. Curves appear as large circular segments while straight strokes terminate in flat, squared ends; many joins are simplified into chunky blocks. Triangular wedges and clipped corners are used repeatedly (notably in A/V/W/X/Y and several lowercase forms), producing a variable rhythm of round bowls against sharp incisions. Spacing and sidebearings feel intentionally irregular, reinforcing a cut-paper/constructed look rather than a continuous typographic skeleton.
Best suited to display contexts such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and branding where the sculpted silhouettes can dominate the page. It can work well for packaging, album/cover art, and playful editorial callouts, especially when paired with a neutral text face for body copy. Large-scale use and generous tracking help preserve character recognition.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, with a strong mid-century/retro display energy. The filled-in interiors and abrupt notches give it a punchy, poster-like presence that reads more as graphic shapes than traditional letterforms. It feels bold, mischievous, and slightly futuristic in a toy-block way.
The design appears intended to turn letters into bold, cut-out symbols—prioritizing graphic impact and a recognizable motif over conventional counterforms. Its repeated notches and collapsed interiors suggest a deliberate effort to create a cohesive, stencil/collage-like aesthetic that feels crafted and attention-grabbing.
Legibility is strongest at large sizes where the distinctive bite marks and collapsed counters read as stylistic features rather than ambiguity. The numerals and capitals present as emblematic icons, while the lowercase adds extra quirk through asymmetric cuts (e.g., single-story a-like and g-like shapes, and simplified terminals). The design relies on consistent motif repetition—circular bowls plus wedge removals—to hold the set together.
