A heavy, blocky sans with broad proportions and a high x-height, built from compact, rounded-rectangle forms. Strokes read as generally monolinear at distance but show deliberate internal "carved" notches and diagonal wedge cut-ins that create a subtle contrasted feel and strong silhouette activity. Terminals are blunt and squared, bowls are roomy but tightened by small apertures, and several letters feature asymmetrical inner cuts that add motion without introducing true serifs. Numerals share the same stout geometry, with angular slashes and inset counters that keep the set visually consistent at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold branding moments where texture and silhouette matter. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but extended reading in small sizes may lose some internal detail due to the compact counters and heavy mass.
The overall tone is energetic and slightly mischievous, combining friendly rounded mass with sharp, chiseled interruptions. It evokes a retro display sensibility—somewhere between arcade poster lettering and comic headline styling—designed to grab attention and feel characterful rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a memorable, carved-in texture—adding visual bite to an otherwise simple, rounded block structure. Its consistent wedge motifs across capitals, lowercase, and numerals suggest an emphasis on cohesive display personality for attention-grabbing titles and marks.
The distinctive diagonal cutouts become more apparent as size increases, making the face feel especially suited to short bursts of text. The dense black shapes and tight apertures can visually fill in at smaller sizes or in low-contrast printing, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect clarity.
