A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and broad, even strokes. Corners are softened and many joins terminate in small squared notches, giving a subtle stencil/ink-trap flavor and a deliberately chunky texture. Curves are wide and geometric, counters are relatively open for the weight, and terminals tend to be flat and blunt. The overall rhythm is steady and readable in display sizes, with a slightly idiosyncratic construction that keeps the forms from feeling purely geometric.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand moments where strong presence and character are needed. It can work for short paragraphs or punchy callouts when set with generous spacing, but it will read most cleanly at medium-to-large sizes where the notched details remain crisp.
The font projects a friendly, punchy tone with a hint of retro signage and cartoon boldness. Its softened edges keep it approachable, while the notched details add character and a mildly industrial, cut-out feel. The result is confident and attention-grabbing without turning aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a warm, approachable voice, pairing a simple sans foundation with distinctive cut-in details to create memorability. The shapes aim for high visibility and a consistent, chunky texture suitable for contemporary branding and retro-inspired display work.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, sturdy skeleton, and the numerals match the same rounded, block-forward style. The distinctive notches are most noticeable at inner corners and stroke joins, creating a recognizable texture in longer lines of text.
