A heavy, rounded sans with pronounced internal cut-ins that carve out elliptical counters and notches, creating a distinctive high-contrast look within otherwise monoline-like block forms. Curves are generous and geometric, while joins often form sharp wedges and scooped terminals that suggest deliberate “ink-trap” style shaping. Proportions run broad with substantial bowls and compact apertures; the rhythm is punchy and graphic, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for a lively texture. The numerals and lowercase echo the same carved, capsule-shaped counter motif, keeping the design visually consistent across the set.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its strong silhouette and signature cut-in counters can be appreciated. It also works well for short titles and punchy callouts; for dense body copy, larger sizes and generous leading help maintain readability.
The overall tone is bold and playful, with a retro display flavor that feels energetic and slightly mischievous. The repeated cut-out shapes add a sense of motion and stylization, giving text a poster-like presence that reads as attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a unique carved-counter signature, balancing rounded geometry with dramatic internal shaping. The intent reads as a contemporary display sans that nods to retro sign and poster aesthetics while maintaining a cohesive, systematized construction across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
In longer lines the carved counters become a dominant pattern, so spacing and word shapes feel highly stylized. The design’s distinctive notches and narrowed apertures can reduce clarity at small sizes, but they contribute strongly to its recognizable personality in headlines.
