A heavy, blocky sans with irregular, slightly wavy outer contours and distinctive internal cutouts that read like punched or carved counters. Strokes are broadly uniform with little visible modulation, and the silhouettes lean on squared massing softened by rounded bites and notches. Counters tend toward small openings, circular holes, and asymmetric cavities, giving letters a sculpted, cutout construction. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a bouncy rhythm while keeping a consistent cap height and a compact overall fit.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and editorial callouts where its cutout texture can be appreciated. It works particularly well when set large with generous tracking or in bold color treatments, and is less ideal for long-form text due to its dense interiors and animated rhythm.
The overall tone is whimsical and characterful, with a hand-cut, display-first attitude that feels retro and slightly mischievous. Its dense black shapes and playful cavities create strong graphic impact and a sense of motion, more poster-like than typographically restrained.
Likely designed as a distinctive display face that prioritizes silhouette, texture, and personality over neutrality. The cutout counters and irregular outlines suggest an intention to evoke hand-crafted signage or stencil/carved lettering while remaining firmly within a blocky sans framework.
The design’s most recognizable trait is the repeated use of circular and teardrop-like holes plus side notches, which creates a cohesive texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. At smaller sizes the tight counters may close up, while at larger sizes the quirky detailing becomes a defining feature.
