A heavy, blocky sans with a monoline feel, built from broad strokes, rounded bowls, and frequent wedge-like cut-ins that create sharp notches at joins and terminals. Many letters mix soft curves with abrupt angular breaks, giving the outlines a faceted, carved look rather than smooth geometric construction. Counters are generally compact and circular/oval, while stems and diagonals feel slightly irregular in rhythm due to the repeated corner bites and asymmetric cuts. Numerals follow the same chunky structure, with simplified forms and distinctive internal cut-outs that keep the figures bold and graphic.
Best suited to display settings where bold shapes and distinctive texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, signage, and playful brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of text such as callouts or headers, where the chunky forms maintain impact without needing fine detail.
The overall tone is mischievous and high-energy, with a handmade, cut-paper personality that reads as fun rather than formal. Its exaggerated weight and quirky notches evoke a retro display sensibility—part cartoon title card, part playful poster lettering.
The font appears intended as an attention-grabbing display sans that injects personality through carved notches and chunky proportions. Its construction suggests a goal of making familiar sans forms feel more handmade and animated, producing a strong, memorable silhouette for graphic communication.
In text, the strong silhouette and tight internal spaces create a dense, poster-like color; the notched detailing becomes a defining texture across lines. The design prioritizes character and impact over neutrality, with consistent wedge interruptions that unify the alphabet while keeping each glyph lively.
