A heavy, geometric sans with chunky silhouettes and smooth, rounded curves. Many forms incorporate distinctive triangular notches and cut-ins—most visible in diagonals and terminals—which creates a crisp, chiseled rhythm against otherwise soft counters. Circular letters like O, Q, and lowercase o are broadly rounded with compact inner counters, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L) read as dense blocks with clean, flat terminals. The overall construction feels modular and intentionally stylized, with simplified joins and occasional sharp internal angles that give the face a graphic, logo-like presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short text that benefits from a strong graphic voice. It works well for branding, packaging, and logo systems where the distinctive notched shapes can act as a recognizable visual identifier. For longer passages, it will be most effective at larger sizes where the internal cut-ins and tight counters remain clearly legible.
The font projects a bold, playful personality with a retro display flavor. Its notched geometry and oversized shapes feel energetic and slightly mischievous, leaning toward fun, approachable communication rather than neutrality. The strong black mass and quirky cut-ins give it a toy-like, pop-culture tone suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended as an expressive display sans that combines rounded geometry with a consistent notched detailing to create a memorable, characterful texture. Its simplified, high-impact forms prioritize immediate recognizability and bold typographic presence over understated readability.
The notch motif is used consistently enough to become a signature, adding texture to words without relying on outlines or contrast. Numerals are similarly chunky and simplified, designed to match the letterforms’ bold mass and geometric logic. The overall color on the page is very dark and assertive, making spacing and counters key to maintaining clarity at smaller sizes.
