A stylized sans with mostly even stroke weight and a distinctive system of wedge-like terminals and sharp, angled cuts. Curves are clean and geometric (notably in C, O, and G), while many joins and endings taper or notch into points, creating a slightly calligraphic, chiseled feel without true serifs. Proportions lean compact in the lowercase, with rounded bowls (a, e, o) contrasted by narrow, upright stems and frequent diagonal finishing strokes (k, v, w, x, y). Numerals echo the same terminal language, with angular entry/exit cuts that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where its terminal details can be appreciated—posters, branding, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work in subheads or pull quotes, but the sharp finishing cuts and lively rhythm make it more effective as a display face than for long-form reading.
The overall tone is lively and idiosyncratic—friendly at a glance, but with enough edge from the sharp terminals to feel theatrical and characterful. It reads as retro-leaning and display-oriented, suggesting a handcrafted or decorative intent rather than a purely neutral text voice.
The design appears intended to provide a recognizable, decorative sans voice by combining geometric construction with consistent wedge terminals and angular stroke endings. The goal seems to be a balance of readability and personality—clean silhouettes with a memorable, stylized texture in word shapes.
The font’s identity comes from repeated triangular/wedge motifs at stroke ends and the way diagonals are emphasized, especially in the uppercase and in letters like v, w, and x. Round forms stay open and simple, helping legibility, while the pointed terminals add rhythm and a distinctive texture in words and headlines.
