A tall, condensed display face with heavy, blocklike forms and rounded corners. Many strokes feature deliberate horizontal notches and breaks, creating a pseudo-stencil rhythm that repeats across the alphabet and numerals. Counters are small and compressed, terminals are blunt, and curves are simplified into sturdy, almost capsule-like shapes. Despite some glyph-to-glyph irregularities, the overall construction is consistent: narrow proportions, strong vertical emphasis, and recurring cut-ins that animate the texture.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, attention-grabbing headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging accents, and event or nightlife promotion graphics. It performs well when given room to breathe and used at larger sizes where the internal cuts read as intentional detailing rather than noise.
The repeated notches give the font a cheeky, wobbly energy—like a stamped or cut-out sign that’s been intentionally hacked for character. It reads as bold and humorous rather than refined, with a retro novelty flavor that feels at home in playful or offbeat contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, attention-first voice by combining condensed, heavy letterforms with systematic cut-outs that create movement and a stamped/stenciled feel. The goal seems less about neutrality and more about instant personality and visual texture.
The stencil-like interruptions can reduce clarity at small sizes, especially in tight letterspacing, but they create a distinctive pattern in headlines. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest personality, with the notch motif providing instant recognizability.
