A heavy, geometric sans with compact counters, rounded corners, and pronounced ink-trap-like notches and cut-ins that carve sharp interior wedges into otherwise solid forms. Curves are broad and smooth, while joins and terminals often resolve into straight, blocky endings, creating a hybrid of circular bowls and slabby structure. The shapes feel tightly packed and weighty, with small apertures and counters that emphasize silhouette over internal detail, giving the alphabet a strong, poster-like presence.
Best suited for large-scale display work such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and impactful signage where its dense weight and distinctive interior notches can be read clearly. It performs especially well in short phrases and emphatic typographic statements rather than extended text.
The overall tone is loud, upbeat, and slightly quirky—more pop-display than sober editorial. Its chunky silhouettes and characteristic cut-ins read as energetic and attention-seeking, evoking retro signage, playful packaging, and bold headline culture.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a recognizable, stylized silhouette—combining rounded geometry with deliberate interior cut-ins to create a bold, characterful display sans that stands out immediately in branding and headline contexts.
The distinctive cut-ins appear across multiple letters and numerals, producing a consistent “bitten” rhythm that adds texture at large sizes but can close up internal spaces in smaller settings. Numerals follow the same stout construction, with the 0 and 8 particularly compact in their counters and the 1 rendered as a strong, blocky vertical form.
