A heavy, blocky sans with soft, rounded-rectangle construction and subtly sheared terminals that create a chiseled, cut-in feel. Curves are built from broad superellipse-like forms, while joins and corners stay thick and stable, producing compact counters and strong silhouettes. The rhythm is wide and sturdy, with straightforward, upright structure and minimal internal detail, giving the alphabet a dense, graphic texture in words.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold labels where its chunky silhouettes can carry the layout. It can also work for event promotions or sports/entertainment graphics, especially when used with generous tracking and ample whitespace.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining playful rounded geometry with a rugged, poster-like punch. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, with a slightly retro display flavor that feels at home in loud, energetic settings.
The design appears intended as a display sans that maximizes presence through thick strokes and rounded-rectangular geometry, while adding personality via consistent angled cut-ins. The overall goal seems to be immediate legibility at large sizes with a distinctive, energetic texture.
The distinctive cut-in notches and angled shears show up across multiple letters and numerals, adding a consistent industrial/hand-cut character without introducing true ornament. At large sizes the shapes feel sculptural; in longer text the dense counters and heavy joins can visually darken paragraphs quickly.
