A decorative, sans-leaning alphabet with rounded geometric bowls and a consistent system of small triangular notches that bite into stems and curves. Strokes stay fairly even, with blunt terminals, simplified joins, and a slightly bouncy rhythm created by asymmetric cut-ins on letters like E, F, G, S, and the numerals. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while lowercase keeps single-storey shapes and open counters that remain legible at display sizes. Overall spacing feels moderately open, with the notches creating extra sparkle and a textured silhouette across words.
Best suited to display applications where its notched silhouette can be appreciated—posters, event graphics, packaging, playful branding, and short logotypes. It can work for brief callouts or pull quotes, but the ornamental cut-ins are most effective at larger sizes.
The notched detailing gives the face a mischievous, toy-like personality—part retro signage, part comic prop lettering. It reads as friendly and energetic rather than formal, with a deliberate “crafted” oddness that makes headlines feel animated and slightly offbeat.
The design appears intended to take a familiar, rounded grotesque base and inject character through a single, repeatable gesture—triangular cut-ins—so the type feels custom and memorable while staying broadly readable. It’s built to create immediate visual identity in a few words rather than disappear into body text.
The repeated cut-in motif is the primary identifier, functioning like a built-in ornament that adds contrast without relying on thin strokes. In continuous text, those notches create a dotted, zig-zag cadence along verticals and arcs, producing a lively gray value that’s more distinctive than neutral.
