A heavy, block-forward sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. The silhouettes combine rounded outer curves with abrupt, chiseled cut-ins and notch-like breaks that create a slightly segmented, almost stencil-like feel in bowls and joins. Strokes are predominantly monoline at a macro level, but the interior cutouts and sharp incisions introduce pronounced light–dark tension and a punchy rhythm. The lowercase is large and dominant, with short ascenders/descenders and sturdy, rectangular stems; numerals follow the same chunky, sculpted logic for strong uniformity in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format messaging where its chunky forms and notched details can be appreciated. It can work well for bold branding moments, packaging titles, event graphics, and playful entertainment-oriented design, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is exuberant and attention-grabbing, with a retro poster sensibility and a mischievous, toy-block personality. Its exaggerated mass and notched details make it feel energetic and slightly unconventional rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that maximizes presence and memorability through oversized massing, large lowercase, and carved-in negative spaces. The notched construction adds a signature texture that differentiates it from standard geometric or grotesque display styles.
The distinctive notches and tight apertures can cause letters to visually merge at smaller sizes or in long passages, especially in dense words. The design reads best when given ample tracking and line spacing so the internal cut-ins remain crisp and intentional.
