A heavy, geometric sans with rounded curves and sharply cut, flat terminals that create a distinctive stencil-like feel. Many bowls and counters are reduced to small apertures or fully closed, producing solid interior masses and a strongly graphic silhouette. The design favors broad curves (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase a/e) paired with abrupt horizontal and vertical cuts, giving the letters a sculpted, cutout rhythm. Spacing appears fairly generous for such dense shapes, helping the forms remain legible at display sizes despite the collapsed interior detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and bold signage where its solid counters can read as a deliberate graphic effect. It performs particularly well at larger sizes and in high-contrast applications where the silhouette can carry the message.
The tone is bold and mischievous, with a toy-like, poster-ready energy. Its chunky solids and simplified interiors evoke mid-century display experimentation and playful signage, leaning more toward characterful impact than neutral readability.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch through dense, simplified letterforms and intentionally collapsed counters, creating a distinctive cutout aesthetic. It prioritizes a memorable, novelty display presence over conventional text-face openness and modulation.
Uppercase forms read more architectural and blocky, while lowercase introduces softer, rounder constructions; together they create a lively mixed-case texture. Numerals follow the same approach—thick, simplified shapes with minimal internal openings—keeping the overall voice consistent and attention-grabbing.
