A condensed, heavy display face built from tall, rectangular forms with rounded corners and deep, carved-in counters. Strokes are largely monolinear in feel but interrupted by narrow notches and slit-like openings that create a cutout/stencil impression and introduce sharp internal contrast. Curves are squarish and boxy, terminals tend to be blunt, and several glyphs show intentional irregularities and small interior bites that add texture. Overall rhythm is tightly packed and vertical, with simplified, geometric silhouettes and occasional asymmetry that keeps the forms lively.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, game or event titles, album artwork, and expressive packaging. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where a quirky, textured block style is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long passages or small UI text.
The tone is playful and slightly off-kilter, like a vintage sideshow or pulp poster that’s been roughened up for attitude. Its cutout details and cramped verticality give it a mischievous, DIY energy that reads as experimental rather than polite or neutral.
The design appears intended to create maximum character with minimal ingredients: narrow, upright block shapes plus distinctive interior cutouts. By mixing geometric rigidity with irregular notches and squeezed counters, it aims to feel bold, memorable, and intentionally unconventional.
The alphabet emphasizes tall proportions and narrow apertures, so interior spaces can appear pinched at smaller sizes. Numerals and lowercase echo the same cut-and-notched construction, keeping the set cohesive while leaning into a deliberately odd, one-off personality.
