A heavy, rounded sans built from large, soft-edged shapes with consistent curves and minimal contrast. Many letters show deliberate internal notches and slit-like breaks that create a stenciled, modular construction and help open counters at large weights. Curves are broad and pillowy, terminals are fully rounded, and spacing reads generous, producing a steady, poster-oriented rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same inflated geometry, with simplified forms and occasional internal separations that echo the letterforms.
Best suited to large sizes where the internal cutouts and rounded contours can be read clearly—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It also works well for short, bold phrases where its rhythmic black shapes can function as a graphic element.
The overall tone is upbeat and graphic, with a distinctly retro display personality. Its soft, blobby massing feels friendly and approachable, while the cut-in gaps add a quirky, engineered edge that suggests 1970s-inspired signage and pop design.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that stays legible at extreme weight through strategic openings and simplified geometry. Its rounded construction and repeated cutout motif aim to deliver a memorable, period-tinged voice for branding and headline typography.
The characteristic cutouts create strong black–white patterning and distinctive silhouettes, especially in rounded characters like C/O/Q and in diagonals such as N/W/X. Those internal breaks become part of the texture in words, making the font feel more like a designed motif than a neutral text face.
