A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded, softly chamfered terminals. Curves are built from near-circular bowls with tight, compact counters, while diagonals and joins are simplified into sturdy wedges and notches that create a slightly cut-out look in letters like A, K, M, and N. The lowercase is single-storey where applicable (a, g), with a squat, robust rhythm and minimal stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with rounded bodies and occasional angled cuts that keep the silhouette lively and strongly graphic.
This font is best suited to display settings where impact and personality matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or titles when a friendly, game-like tone is desired, but its dense counters and chunky shapes are most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly retro, cartoon-like sturdiness. Its oversized shapes and simplified geometry read as confident and fun rather than formal, lending a playful, headline-first personality.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes bold silhouettes, geometric roundness, and playful cut-in details to create a memorable, retro-leaning voice for branding and headlines.
Several glyphs use angled incisions and wedge-shaped joins that add character and help differentiate forms at large sizes. The dense interiors and broad letterforms emphasize silhouette over fine detail, giving the design a poster-like presence.
