A heavy, highly stylized display face built from swollen, rounded strokes that pinch into narrow waists, creating a strong hourglass rhythm throughout. Many characters feature horizontal interior cuts or separated bands that read like soft stencil breaks, producing bright counters that float within the black mass. Curves dominate, terminals are rounded and teardrop-like, and the overall texture alternates between broad blobs and tight necks, giving letters a breathing, elastic feel. The set mixes fairly stable baselines with lively, irregular inner shapes, and several forms (notably in the diagonals and bowls) lean on simplified, almost pictographic construction rather than conventional typographic skeletons.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, festival graphics, album/track titles, and expressive packaging. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where a quirky, retro-futurist feel is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long passages or small sizes due to the intricate interior cuts and unconventional shapes.
The tone is mischievous and trippy, with a soft, toy-like friendliness that still feels strange and experimental. Its repeated pinched forms and floating cut-ins evoke 1960s/70s psychedelia and pop poster lettering, creating a quirky, attention-seeking voice rather than a neutral one.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, memorable silhouette through exaggerated bulbous forms and recurring pinched joins, prioritizing personality over strict legibility. The interior cutaway motif adds visual sparkle and helps the letters read as a cohesive system while maintaining an experimental, decorative character.
The distinctive internal horizontal breaks become a key identifying motif across both uppercase and lowercase, helping unify otherwise idiosyncratic letterforms. Spacing and letter widths feel deliberately uneven, reinforcing a handmade, one-off personality and making the font most effective at larger sizes where the interior cut shapes remain clear.
