A heavy, geometric sans with extremely thick strokes and broad, blocky proportions. Letterforms are built from simple circles and rectangles, but are interrupted by recurring internal cuts and notches that read like stencil breaks or exaggerated ink-trap shapes. Curves are smooth and bulbous, counters tend to be tight, and joins are simplified, creating a compact, poster-like texture. Several glyphs show deliberate asymmetries and carved-in wedges (notably in diagonals and bowls), giving the design a distinctive, constructed feel rather than a neutral grotesk.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and branding where the carved counters and notches can be appreciated. It can work well for packaging and promotional graphics that want a playful, stencil-like edge, while longer passages may feel dense due to the heavy weight and tight counters.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a retro display energy that feels at home in playful branding and attention-grabbing headlines. The repeated cut-ins add a crafty, cut-paper/stencil character that reads as fun, slightly rebellious, and intentionally unconventional.
Likely designed as a distinctive display sans that uses consistent internal breaks to create a signature motif and improve recognition. The goal appears to be maximum visual impact with a retro-graphic flavor, prioritizing personality and silhouette over neutral readability.
The internal cut details create strong identity at large sizes but also increase visual noise in continuous text. Round letters like C, G, O, Q and numerals rely on horizontal slit-like apertures, which emphasize the font’s graphic, logo-friendly personality.
