This typeface uses heavy, blocky letterforms with softened corners and mostly even stroke thickness. Many glyphs incorporate intentional wedge-like notches and small cut-ins at corners and joins, creating a subtly stencil-like, carved rhythm without breaking overall legibility. Curves are broad and geometric, counters are tight and often nearly circular, and terminals tend to finish with blunt, squared ends. The overall spacing and proportions feel compact, with wide, sturdy shapes that read as solid silhouettes in text and display settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, covers, packaging, and bold brand marks where the carved notch details can be appreciated. It also works well for playful applications like children’s media, event graphics, and sticker-style or signage-inspired designs.
The notched detailing and rounded massing give the font a lively, toy-like personality that feels approachable and slightly quirky. It evokes mid-century display sensibilities and playful signage, balancing bold impact with a friendly, informal tone.
The font appears intended to deliver strong display presence while adding character through repeated notch and cut-in shapes. Its geometry prioritizes bold silhouettes and a crafted, stencil-adjacent texture that differentiates it from straightforward geometric sans styles.
The design shows consistent corner treatments across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a unified “cut” motif. Numerals are similarly chunky and simplified, and diagonals (such as in V/W/X/Y) keep strong, faceted angles that match the notched construction.
