A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and pronounced, sculpted counters. Strokes are mostly thick and even, but with noticeable thinning and sharp tapering at joins and terminals that creates a cutout/ink-trap-like effect, especially in letters with bowls and diagonals. Curves are generously rounded, while many terminals end in crisp wedges or small notches, giving the face a distinctive, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms feel geometric and sturdy; lowercase is similarly bold with simple single-storey a and g and large, clean apertures that keep shapes readable at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its distinctive cut terminals and bold texture can read clearly and provide personality. It works well for branding, packaging, event posters, and logo wordmarks that want a friendly retro-modern voice, and it can add character to large UI or signage labels when used sparingly.
The overall tone is cheerful and graphic, with a mid-century/retro display energy. The wedge cuts and hollowed counters add a playful, slightly futuristic flavor, making text feel lively and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that stays highly legible while introducing a signature cutout/ink-trap detailing. It aims to balance soft, rounded geometry with crisp wedge notches to create strong rhythm and a memorable silhouette in words.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals such as 0 show strong internal shaping with eye-like counters, reinforcing the cutout motif. Diagonals in characters like A, V, W, X, and Z appear sharply trimmed, producing a dynamic sparkle along word shapes. The numerals are sturdy and poster-like, matching the assertive texture of the alphabet.
