A heavy, display-oriented alphabet built from chunky, simplified silhouettes with collapsed counters and frequent wedge cut-ins. The forms mix rounded bowls with sharp triangular bites, producing irregular interior corners that read like ink traps or notches rather than open apertures. Strokes are uniformly massive and monoline in feel, with flattened terminals and a generally compact internal spacing. Proportions lean broad, and the rhythm is intentionally uneven across letters, emphasizing shape over conventional typographic construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its solid, notched silhouettes can act as a graphic element. It can work well for branding marks, packaging, event titles, and punchy signage, especially when paired with a simpler companion face for longer copy.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, with a distinctly retro, poster-like attitude. The notched geometry adds a quirky, slightly mischievous character that feels more illustrative than typographic, suggesting a fun, attention-grabbing voice rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through solid mass and distinctive notched shaping, trading traditional counter clarity for a strong, memorable silhouette. Its construction suggests a deliberate nod to vintage display lettering and cut-paper or stencil-like forms, optimized for bold, graphic applications.
Legibility holds best at larger sizes where the silhouette cues (notches, wedges, and blocky bowls) can be read clearly; at smaller sizes the closed counters and tight interior voids may cause letters like a/e/o and b/p/q to converge. Numerals and capitals share the same cut-in motif, keeping the set visually cohesive and bold in texture.
