A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and broad, blocky strokes. The forms lean geometric overall but are distinguished by consistent triangular notches and wedge-shaped cut-ins that create a subtle stencil-like construction across many letters. Curves are smooth and full, corners tend to be softened, and terminals are largely blunt, giving the alphabet a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase shows single-storey shapes and simplified structures, with punctuation-like dots that read as crisp circular marks.
Best suited to display settings where the chunky silhouettes and cut-in details can be appreciated—posters, album/cover art, packaging, signage, and short brand statements. It can also work for playful logotypes and badges, especially when you want a bold, memorable voice rather than neutral body text.
The notched geometry and inflated shapes give the font a playful, toy-like energy with a distinctly retro display feel. It reads bold and approachable rather than formal, with enough eccentric detail to feel custom and characterful in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric base, then differentiate itself through systematic notches that add a bespoke, decorative twist. The overall construction favors strong shapes and instant recognizability for branding and titling.
The notch motif is the primary identifying detail, appearing as angled bites in bowls and joins that add texture without breaking the overall mass. Numerals and uppercase share the same robust, graphic tone, producing strong presence and clear word shapes at larger sizes.
