A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and a strong, even stroke weight. Letterforms combine broad circular bowls with distinctive chamfered, wedge-like terminals that create small triangular notches and pointed ends on verticals and diagonals. Curves are clean and fairly round, while joins and endings are decisively cut, giving the face a crisp, constructed feel rather than a soft one. The rhythm is punchy and display-oriented, with simplified shapes and generous interior counters that keep the bold forms readable at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where the distinctive chamfered terminals can be appreciated. It works well for short to medium display copy, event titles, and playful editorial callouts where a bold, quirky voice is desirable.
The sharp cut-ins and wedge terminals add a mischievous, game-like energy to an otherwise solid, straightforward build. It reads friendly and humorous, with a retro poster sensibility—confident and attention-seeking without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver high impact and instant recognizability by fusing geometric sans basics with consistent wedge-cut terminals. This creates a branded, decorative twist while keeping the underlying forms simple and legible for display settings.
The lowercase shows clear single-story forms (notably a and g), and the digits follow the same chiseled terminal logic, helping numerals feel consistent with the alphabet. The overall texture stays dark and even, so the distinctive terminals become the primary source of character in text.
