A heavy, rounded display sans with inflated, almost “pillow” forms and generous curvature throughout. Strokes are thick and soft-ended, with frequent internal notches and narrow vertical breaks that read like stencil or cutout seams, creating distinctive counters and a textured rhythm across words. Letter construction leans toward compact, top-heavy shapes with simplified terminals; round letters (O, C, G) feel especially sculpted by the inner cut lines, while diagonals and joins (V, W, X, M, N) are built from broad, rounded wedges. Spacing appears relatively tight, emphasizing dense, graphic word silhouettes rather than airy text color.
Best suited for display settings where its chunky silhouettes and cutout detailing can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for playful editorial callouts and short, high-contrast captions when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is exuberant and approachable, with a strong retro-pop personality. The cutout seams add a crafty, poster-like flavor that feels playful and slightly quirky rather than strict or technical.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with soft, rounded forms while differentiating itself through stencil-like internal cuts. The intent appears to balance friendliness and novelty, creating a bold, memorable voice for expressive branding and graphic design.
The stencil-like interior splits are a defining feature and become more prominent at larger sizes, where they read as intentional detailing rather than incidental gaps. The bold massing and rounded geometry create high impact in short phrases, while the busy interior shaping can reduce clarity at small sizes or in long passages.
