A heavy, geometric sans with large circular counters and broadly rounded curves paired with flat, blocky terminals. Many glyphs incorporate distinctive wedge-shaped notches and cut-ins, creating a quasi-stencil, “bitten” silhouette that breaks up otherwise solid, monoline strokes. The design leans on simple, bold construction—triangular A with a cutout, a pac-man-like C, and strongly simplified diagonals in V/W/X—producing a compact rhythm and pronounced, poster-ready color. Numerals and lowercase echo the same cut-in motif, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and wide, open apertures that emphasize shape over detail.
Best suited to high-impact display typography such as posters, bold editorial headlines, packaging, event graphics, and logo wordmarks where the notched geometry can read clearly. It also fits playful branding contexts (toys, games, snack packaging) and short, emphatic messaging rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is exuberant and graphic, reading as playful and slightly mischievous due to the recurring notches and exaggerated counters. It evokes a retro arcade/toy aesthetic—bold, friendly, and attention-seeking—more about personality than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through simplified geometric construction and a consistent system of cut-in notches that makes the letterforms instantly recognizable. It prioritizes bold silhouette, strong countershapes, and a distinctive display voice over conventional text legibility.
The cut-in details create a strong signature at display sizes but can visually merge in tight settings, so spacing and scale will strongly affect clarity. The punctuation-like cutouts inside some counters add texture and motion, making the font feel animated even in static text.
