A heavy, graphic display face built from simplified geometric masses with frequent cut-ins and wedge-like notches. Curves read as near-circular bowls and half-circles, while joins and terminals often resolve into flat slabs, sharp angles, or clipped corners, creating a rhythmic “carved” look. Counters are largely collapsed or implied through exterior bites rather than open interior space, giving letters a compact, poster-like silhouette. Spacing and fit feel intentionally irregular from glyph to glyph, with varied widths and distinctive negative-shape cuts that keep the texture animated in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and cover art where its distinctive silhouettes can be read at a glance. It works particularly well when you want a strong graphic texture and a playful retro voice, rather than continuous-text readability.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric with a strong retro flavor, like bold cut-paper lettering or mid‑century display graphics. Its quirky notches and softened geometric forms create a friendly, game-like energy while still feeling assertive and high-impact.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch through solid, simplified forms and strategically placed cut-ins that suggest counters without opening them. Its irregular widths and carved geometric details aim to create a distinctive, memorable display texture that stands out in branding and headline applications.
The alphabet shows consistent use of circular geometry for bowls (e.g., O/Q-like forms) paired with abrupt angular intrusions, producing high-contrast silhouette shapes even without interior counters. Numerals share the same cut-out logic and feel like pictographic blocks, reinforcing a novelty display character that thrives at larger sizes.
