A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a high x-height. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with soft, blunted corners and large, simple curves that keep forms readable at display sizes. Many glyphs show distinctive wedge-like notches and small cut-ins at joins and terminals, creating a slightly “carved” rhythm through the alphabet. Counters are compact (notably in O/o and 8), and the overall spacing feels sturdy and dense, with a strong, blocky silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a strong, approachable voice is needed. It holds up well in short bursts of text—titles, callouts, and large UI/marketing phrases—where its chunky shapes and distinctive cuts can be appreciated.
The font projects a friendly, playful confidence—bold and attention-seeking without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry and quirky cut details add a retro, toy-like charm that reads as informal and upbeat in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with rounded, approachable forms, while the recurring cut-in details provide a recognizable hook for branding and display typography.
The notch-and-cut detailing appears repeatedly across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the design a consistent signature. Numerals are similarly weighty and graphic, with simplified shapes that prioritize impact over delicacy.
