A heavy, geometric display face built from simplified circles, wedges, and straight strokes, with many counters collapsed into solid forms. Curves read as near-perfect bowls and disks that are frequently interrupted by sharp triangular notches, while verticals and horizontals stay blunt and monoline in feel. The overall rhythm is intentionally irregular: some letters lean on pure geometry (O-like shapes), while others introduce abrupt cut-ins and flattened joins, creating a modular, cut-out silhouette. Spacing and sidebearings feel display-oriented, with large black shapes and minimal interior relief emphasizing silhouette over internal detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, cover art, large headlines, branding marks, and packaging where the bold silhouettes can carry the message. It performs especially well at larger sizes and in simple color treatments, where the cut-in geometry and solid counters remain clear.
The tone is bold and cheeky, with a distinctly retro, poster-like personality. Its simplified, notched forms suggest playful experimentation and a crafted cut-paper or stencil sensibility, giving headlines a graphic, attention-grabbing energy rather than a neutral reading voice.
The design appears intended to prioritize graphic silhouette and geometric play over conventional readability, using collapsed counters and triangular cut-ins to create a distinctive, instantly recognizable display voice. It aims to feel like a constructed, modular alphabet—part stencil, part cut-out—built for striking typographic statements.
Because many interior openings are closed, several characters rely on distinctive exterior cues (notches, spurs, and asymmetric cuts) to stay recognizable, which heightens the novelty feel. Numerals follow the same solid, geometric logic, reading as chunky symbols that match the alphabet’s strong silhouette-driven style.
