A heavy, compact sans with rounded outer contours and distinctive wedge-like cut-ins that create a carved, ink-trap feel at joins and terminals. Curves are broad and full (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the bowls of b/d/p), while many straight strokes show subtle inward scoops that add texture and rhythm. Counters tend to be small and sometimes off-center, giving the letters a slightly top-heavy, hand-cut silhouette despite overall geometric structure. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with bold, simplified forms and occasional notched details that reinforce the font’s sculpted look.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short branding phrases where its bold mass and quirky notches can be read clearly. It works well for playful packaging, event graphics, and logo wordmarks that want a retro-cartoon presence. For long text or small UI sizes, the tight counters and busy join details may feel dense.
The font reads as upbeat and characterful, with a friendly loudness suited to attention-grabbing display use. Its notched forms and inflated bowls evoke mid-century poster lettering and cartoon titling, creating a casual, humorous tone rather than a technical or minimalist one.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that feels sculpted and animated, using repeated wedge cut-ins to create a memorable, hand-carved personality while keeping overall letterforms straightforward and sans-like.
Spacing and silhouettes feel intentionally irregular from glyph to glyph, producing a lively texture in words. The distinctive internal cutouts are consistent enough to function as a signature motif, but they also reduce interior openness in smaller sizes.
