A heavy, geometric display face built from broad, compact shapes with rounded outer curves and frequent triangular notches and bite-like cut-ins. Counters are minimal and often reduced to small punctures, giving many letters a near-solid silhouette with occasional drilled-looking apertures. Stems and bowls feel monolinear and pressureless, with abrupt transitions, flat terminals, and a rhythm driven more by cut geometry than traditional stroke logic. The lowercase mirrors the same construction with a tall x-height and simplified forms, while numerals follow the same chunky, notched patterning.
Best suited to large sizes where the notches and tiny apertures remain clear—posters, punchy headlines, title cards, branding marks, and packaging with a playful or retro tone. It works especially well in short phrases and display settings where dense, high-ink texture is an advantage.
The overall tone is bold and playful, with a retro novelty flavor that reads like cut paper, stenciled plastic, or sculpted signage. The filled interiors and deliberate notches create a quirky, slightly mischievous personality that prioritizes impact over refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum silhouette impact through near-solid letterforms, using consistent geometric cutouts to add character and differentiate shapes. It aims for a novelty display voice that feels crafted and graphic rather than typographically traditional.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and mass-forward, so the texture becomes a continuous black band in text settings. The distinctive cut-ins act as a unifying motif across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the design stay coherent even as individual letterforms become highly simplified.
