A heavy, display-oriented sans with broad proportions and rounded geometry. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with softly blunted corners and compact counters that create dense, inky letterforms. Many glyphs show stylized cut-ins and notches—especially in diagonals and joins—giving a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm while remaining largely monolinear. Uppercase forms are blocky and stable; lowercase keeps a single-storey "a" and "g" with short, sturdy stems and pronounced bowls. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with enclosed shapes staying tight and simplified.
Best suited to large-format typography where its dense shapes and distinctive notches can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and promotional graphics. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or short UI labels when set large and with ample letterspacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a bold, friendly presence that feels retro and cartoon-adjacent. The notched details add personality and motion, making text feel energetic and attention-seeking rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, characterful voice—combining a simplified, sans structure with decorative cut-in details to create a memorable display texture.
Spacing appears generous enough for large settings, but the tight internal counters and heavy joins can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The distinctive cut-ins are consistent enough to read as a deliberate motif, contributing to a recognizable texture in words and lines of text.
