A chunky, geometric sans with rounded curves and crisp terminals, built from simplified, modular shapes. Counters are often circular and tightly enclosed, and several letters use deliberate cut-ins and notches that create a slightly stencil-like, constructed feel. The uppercase reads broad and steady with simplified bowls and angular joins, while the lowercase leans toward single-storey, highly stylized forms (notably in a, e, g) with small apertures and distinctive internal dots/holes. Numerals are heavy and graphic, with strong circular forms in 0, 8, and 9 and flattened, poster-like silhouettes across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where its distinctive cut-ins and round counters can be appreciated. It can also work well on packaging, event graphics, and short editorial callouts, especially when you want a retro-futurist or playful constructed look rather than a neutral sans.
The overall tone is upbeat and characterful, combining a mid-century display sensibility with a toy-like, experimental edge. Its deliberate oddities—like punched counters and clipped strokes—give it a whimsical, attention-grabbing personality that feels more expressive than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver a memorable, graphic voice through simplified geometry and intentional disruptions to standard sans forms. Its goal is likely to balance readability with novelty, offering a cohesive set of idiosyncratic lettershapes that stand out in branding and display settings.
Rhythm is intentionally irregular: some glyphs rely on near-monoline strokes while others emphasize large bowls and carved negative space, producing a lively texture in words. The design’s signature details (circular counters, internal dots, and occasional cutaway joins) are consistent enough to read as a system, but remain prominent at text sizes, keeping the face firmly in display territory.
