A rounded geometric sans with heavy, softly contoured strokes and broadly circular construction. Counters are generous and often near-perfectly round (notably in O/o and the numerals), while joins and terminals stay blunt and smooth rather than sharp. Several characters show distinctive cut-ins and wedge-like notches (e.g., C, G, S, and some bowls), giving the shapes a slightly “carved” rhythm. Uppercase forms read sturdy and compact with simplified geometry; lowercase is similarly clean with single-storey a and g, short-armed r, and a straightforward t with a centered crossbar. Numerals are bold and highly stylized, with 8 and 9 featuring prominent circular counters and the 2/3 showing strong, rounded curves.
Well suited to branding and identity work that benefits from a friendly, geometric personality, as well as headlines, posters, and packaging where the bold rounded forms can carry the message. It can also work for short UI or label-style text when a distinctive, approachable tone is desired, though its stylization is most effective for display rather than long reading.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, leaning toward a playful, slightly eccentric modernism. Its rounded massing and circular counters feel friendly and informal, while the deliberate cut-in details add character and a bit of mischievous edge. The result is expressive without becoming chaotic, maintaining a consistent, graphic voice.
The letterforms suggest an intention to combine simple geometric construction with playful, signature cut-in details, creating a memorable display sans that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The design prioritizes clear shapes and strong counters to remain legible while still feeling characterful.
The design emphasizes silhouettes and negative space over fine detail, making it read best at larger sizes where the notches and circular apertures become a feature. Spacing appears even and airy in the sample text, supporting a smooth horizontal rhythm despite the chunky stroke presence.
