A heavy, compact sans with rounded contours, softened corners, and sculpted notches that read like ink-traps or carved-in cut-ins. Strokes stay broadly consistent but are shaped with wedge-like bites and occasional internal counters that skew toward teardrops and ovals, giving letters a molded, dimensional feel. Curves are generous and geometric, while joins and terminals often taper or step, creating a rhythmic mix of smooth bowls and crisp interruptions. Spacing and letterfit feel sturdy and poster-oriented, with lowercase forms built on a tall, sturdy x-height and simplified, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, packaging callouts, and brand marks where its sculpted details can be appreciated. It also works well for playful editorial displays and promotional graphics, especially at medium to large sizes where the internal cut-ins remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and jovial, with a friendly, slightly eccentric personality that suggests mid-century display lettering and playful editorial headlines. The carved details add a mischievous, almost hand-cut vibe, keeping the weighty shapes from feeling purely utilitarian. It reads as energetic and approachable rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with friendly, rounded geometry, while adding character through consistent carved notches that create motion and prevent the heavy weight from looking static. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and display presence over neutral text economy.
The numerals are especially chunky and graphic, with distinctive interior shaping that emphasizes personality over neutrality. The uppercase maintains strong presence with broad, blocky construction, while the lowercase stays similarly robust, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive and headline-forward. The repeated cut-in motif across many glyphs creates a recognizable signature when set in longer lines.
