A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and soft corners, built from thick strokes that are interrupted by a consistent internal inline cut that tracks the letterforms. Proportions run broad and stable, with sturdy verticals, simplified joins, and a generally geometric construction (notably in C/O/Q and the numerals). The inline treatment reads like a carved channel or inner highlight, and its placement shifts slightly to follow curves and diagonals, creating a dimensional, poster-friendly texture. Lowercase forms are simple and robust (single-storey a and g), with short extenders and a straightforward, monoline-like silhouette that prioritizes impact over finesse.
Best suited to short, large-scale settings such as headlines, posters, badges, packaging, and logo wordmarks where the inline carving can be appreciated. It can also work for event graphics or playful editorial callouts, but will be most effective when given generous size and spacing.
The font projects a cheerful, high-energy tone with a clear retro display flavor. Its carved inline detail adds a decorative “pop” that feels like signage, team lettering, or toy-package typography—confident, friendly, and attention-seeking rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, approachable skeleton, while the internal inline cut provides decorative character and a built-in highlight effect. Overall, it aims for quick recognition and a distinctive display voice suitable for branding and promotional typography.
The inline channel is most visually prominent on rounded letters (O, C, G, Q) and on diagonals (V, W, X, Y), where it creates a subtle shadow/highlight impression. Numerals are similarly bold and rounded, with the inline adding extra motion to curves (notably 2, 3, 8, 9).
