A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and pronounced, sculpted counters. Many letters feature horizontal cut-ins or slotted apertures that read like internal stenciling, creating a distinctive rhythm and strong black/white patterning. Curves are generously inflated (notably in C/O/S), while vertical stems stay blocky and stable; terminals tend to be blunt with occasional teardrop-like notches. The overall texture is dense and poster-ready, with idiosyncratic details across bowls and joins that keep the letterforms lively.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and title treatments where its bold silhouette and patterned counters can be appreciated. It can also work for logos and branding systems that want a friendly but distinctive, cutout-driven identity.
The font conveys a playful, retro-modern personality—bold, friendly, and slightly mischievous. Its distinctive internal cutouts add a crafted, display-forward character that feels at home in pop culture, packaging, and upbeat editorial moments.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a recognizable internal-cutout motif, combining rounded geometric foundations with stylized apertures to create a memorable, branded texture in large-scale typography.
The internal apertures and cut-ins become the main identifying motif and can create strong visual sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same sculpted, cutout logic, giving headlines a cohesive, branded look. Because of the dense shapes and decorative counters, it reads most clearly with generous tracking and in short-to-medium text runs.
