A heavy, compact sans with oversized bowls and softened corners, built from simple geometric masses and broad strokes. Many letters feature distinctive bite-like cut-ins at joins and apertures, creating small white notches and split counters that give the forms a constructed, almost stencil-like feel. Curves are generous and circular (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while verticals and diagonals stay blunt and blocky, producing a strong, high-impact texture. Spacing appears tight and the large x-height keeps lowercase forms prominent and dense at display sizes.
Best suited to display work where the chunky silhouette and notched detailing can be appreciated—posters, bold editorial headings, branding marks, packaging, and playful product titling. It can also work for event graphics or entertainment-oriented interfaces, but will be less comfortable for extended reading due to its dense rhythm and high visual personality.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a cartoonish, game-like energy. The notched details add personality and a slightly DIY, cutout aesthetic that reads as fun rather than formal, lending a retro-pop flavor to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, characterful voice—combining simple geometric construction with a signature cut-in notch system to make a distinctive, instantly recognizable texture in large sizes.
Distinctive internal shapes—such as the round, dot-like counters and the recurring notch motif—create strong patterning across words, but can also introduce visual noise in long paragraphs. The numerals follow the same chunky logic with large circular counters and simplified, blocky terminals, prioritizing impact over neutrality.
