A heavy, chunky sans with broad proportions and softly rounded outer curves paired with crisp, squared terminals. The letterforms show deliberate interruptions and notches along curves and joins, creating a slightly stencil-cut or carved-in effect while keeping counters generally open. Stroke weight is consistently dense, with compact apertures in places and simplified geometry that favors sturdy, poster-like silhouettes. Overall spacing reads even and robust, with a distinctly constructed, cutout rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
This font is best suited to display typography where its cutout detailing remains legible and intentional—such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems that want a bold, characterful voice. It can work well for short bursts of copy, titles, and logo-style wordmarks, especially when paired with a quieter text face.
The texture of small breaks and bites in the outlines gives the face a playful, slightly mischievous personality that feels retro and handcrafted rather than neutral. Its bold massing and rounded shapes communicate friendliness, while the irregular cut details add quirky character and visual noise that keeps it lively.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, attention-grabbing sans with a distinctive cut or notched signature, balancing approachable rounded forms with a crafted, decorative edge. It prioritizes impact and recognizability over neutral readability, making it a character-driven option for prominent typographic moments.
The interrupted outline motif is visible across both uppercase and lowercase, including curved letters and bowls, which creates a distinctive repeating pattern at display sizes. Numerals follow the same constructed logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for headline use.
