A contrasted, display-oriented sans with a rounded, geometric foundation and frequent diagonal cut-ins that create teardrop-like counters and notched terminals. Curves are broad and smooth, while joins and some strokes resolve into sharp wedges, producing a lively mix of soft bowls and angular accents. The rhythm is intentionally uneven: widths vary noticeably across letters, apertures are often pinched, and several forms lean on stylized internal "slices" (notably in C/G/O/Q and numerals) that emphasize the high-contrast look. Lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey construction with compact bowls and short, curved terminals; punctuation and digits follow the same cut-out motif for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, logos, posters, and branding where its distinctive notched counters and contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short packaging copy or signage-style applications, but the decorative internal cuts make it less ideal for dense, small-size reading.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, with a mid-century/retro sign-painting feel translated into crisp, modern vector shapes. The recurring cut-in counters read like decorative highlights, giving the type a witty, animated personality that feels more illustrative than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a memorable, decorative sans that stands apart through repeated diagonal cut-ins and high-contrast shapes, balancing geometric clarity with a deliberately quirky, retro display voice.
In longer lines, the stylized counters and varying widths create a strong, patterned “sparkle,” especially where rounded letters repeat. Straight-sided letters (E, F, H, L, T) provide occasional stability, but the design’s identity comes from the notched curves and wedge-like terminals.
