A heavy, geometric sans with rounded bowls and an intentionally interrupted construction. Many counters are collapsed into solid forms, with wedge-shaped notches and cut-ins creating a stencil-like rhythm across curves and joins. Strokes are generally uniform and upright, with broad, simplified terminals and compact internal detailing that reads as graphic shapes rather than traditional apertures. The texture is dense and high-contrast against the page, with distinctive circular forms (notably in O/0 and related bowls) that emphasize mass and silhouette.
Best suited to large sizes where the solid interiors and cutout details can be appreciated: posters, punchy headlines, logotypes, packaging, and short editorial display text. It works particularly well when a graphic, characterful texture is desired rather than neutral body readability.
The overall tone is playful and idiosyncratic, leaning into a retro, display-driven personality. Its filled counters and carved notches give it a mischievous, puzzle-like feel that suggests novelty branding, pop culture applications, and attention-grabbing headline use.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans into a more expressive display style by collapsing counters and introducing consistent carved notches. The goal is a strong silhouette and a distinctive wordmark texture that remains cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Letterforms maintain a consistent geometric logic, but the repeated use of strategic cutouts makes spacing and word shapes feel animated. Numerals follow the same solid-bowl approach, with simplified interiors that prioritize icon-like recognition over conventional readability at small sizes.
