A heavy, block-based display face with wide stances, softened corners, and a distinctive system of semicircular notches and bite-like cutouts taken from strokes and corners. Counters are frequently reduced to small punctures or entirely collapsed, giving many letters a solid, stencil-meets-cutout feel. The forms are mostly rectangular with occasional bulges and scoops, producing an uneven, handmade rhythm across the alphabet. Lowercase echoes the uppercase construction with a tall x-height and compact interior detail; figures are similarly chunky and simplified.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging fronts, and logo wordmarks where the chunky silhouettes and cutout rhythm can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding, product labels, and title treatments that benefit from an intentionally quirky, tactile texture.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a playful, game-piece sensibility. Its carved-out details and simplified interiors evoke retro toy packaging, arcade-era graphics, and novelty signage rather than conventional text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, solid letterforms while adding character via consistent notch-and-scoop detailing. By minimizing traditional counters and relying on silhouette and cutouts, it aims for a distinctive decorative texture that stays legible at headline sizes.
Spacing and silhouettes read best when set with generous tracking and line spacing, as the internal punctures and notches can visually merge at smaller sizes. The design’s repeated cutout motif creates a strong texture across lines of text, making it more effective for short phrases than for dense paragraphs.
