A heavy, blocky sans with softened corners and distinctive angled cut-ins that give the strokes a chiseled, constructed feel. Forms are compact with relatively small counters and sturdy verticals, while curves are simplified into broad arcs and straight segments. The overall rhythm is dense and energetic, with slightly irregular detailing across letters (notably in diagonals and terminals) that reads as intentional and graphic rather than strictly geometric.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and merchandise where bold texture and a playful voice are desired. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when ample size and spacing are available, but it is less ideal for long-form reading due to its dense counters and strong graphic detailing.
The tone is upbeat and characterful, leaning toward a retro display feel with a slightly mischievous, cartoon-like presence. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky cut details make it feel informal and attention-grabbing, suited to designs that want personality over neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact display sans with a handcrafted, cut-paper or carved look—combining robust strokes with idiosyncratic notches to create a memorable word shape and strong visual texture.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, sculpted construction, and the numerals match the same stout, simplified logic. The distinctive notches and angled terminals create strong texture in words, which can become visually dominant at smaller sizes but works well when used for impact.
