It reminds me of Captain
Kirk from
Star Trek and Dr.
Kirk Honda from the YouTube channel Psychology in Seattle.
The only
Kirk I know personally is a bald retiree who lives the winter in Arizona and summer in
Montana. He speaks in a stilted way and is an easygoing guy.
The style seems mid-century mod to me. It seems sort of wholesome and quaint but not in a saccharine way, more sturdy minimalist.
eta: I do associate it with and prefer it to
Kurt /
Curt, like RoxStar mentioned. I don't think I've actually met a
Kurt, though. I also prefer it to
Dirk; it's less cheesy.
