A dense, monoline display face built from heavy rounded rectangles and softened corners, with counters largely collapsed into solid forms. Strokes feel carved rather than drawn, with frequent notches, squared bite-outs, and occasional slanted cuts that create a rhythmic, irregular edge while keeping a consistent overall weight. Proportions are compact with a tall x-height impression, and the alphabet shows deliberate variation in silhouette width from glyph to glyph, enhancing a modular, cutout look. The numerals follow the same solid, block-based construction for a unified set.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and graphic merch where the solid shapes can read as icons. It performs especially well when set large or with generous tracking so the carved details remain distinct in continuous text.
The overall tone is loud and graphic, balancing retro sign-painting energy with a playful, toy-block toughness. Its chunky silhouettes and intentional cut-ins give it a quirky, handcrafted feel while still reading as bold and self-assured.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual mass with a distinctive cutout signature, trading traditional counter structure for bold, easily silhouetted forms. By combining rounded geometry with irregular notches and occasional angled cuts, it aims for a memorable novelty display style that feels both retro and tactile.
Because interior openings are minimized, legibility relies strongly on outer contours and distinctive corner cuts; at smaller sizes the letterforms can merge visually, while at larger sizes the notches and angled trims become a key identifying texture. The rhythm of repeated rounded corners gives it a cohesive, stamped aesthetic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
