A heavy, blocky sans with broadly rounded outer contours and distinctive internal notches that read like stencil cuts or ink-trap slits. The design leans geometric, with wide bowls and squared-off terminals that keep a compact, poster-like silhouette. Counters are often reduced to small apertures or horizontal slots, creating a strong black-and-white rhythm and a slightly irregular, modular texture across words. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with a clear single-storey "a" and "g" and a pronounced, robust dot on "i"/"j".
Best suited to large-size applications where its cut-in counters and dense rhythm can be appreciated—such as posters, title cards, branding marks, and bold packaging. It can work for short UI labels or badges when space is limited, but it is most effective in headlines rather than extended reading.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and playful, with a slightly mischievous, puzzle-cut personality. Its chunky massing and slit-like counters give it an industrial, display-forward attitude while still reading as friendly due to the softened corners and rounded bowls.
The likely intention is a distinctive display sans that turns counters into graphic features, creating a memorable texture and brandable voice. The design prioritizes impact and character over conventional neutrality, aiming to stand out in attention-driven contexts.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same cut-in counter motif, producing a cohesive, high-impact pattern in all-caps and mixed-case settings. Because many counters are narrow or partially closed, the type relies on silhouette recognition as much as interior space, emphasizing shape over fine detail.
