A heavy, geometric sans with compact counters, broad proportions, and a strongly simplified, blocky construction. Curves are generous and rounded, while terminals and joins tend to be blunt, producing an “inked-in” silhouette. Many glyphs show distinctive internal teardrop-like notches and cut-ins (notably visible across rounds and diagonals), creating a carved, stencil-adjacent texture without breaking the main strokes. The overall rhythm is dense and high-impact, with sturdy bowls, short apertures, and a consistent, poster-like color on the page.
Best suited to display settings where maximum impact is needed—posters, headlines, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short bursts of text in editorial callouts or signage where personality and weight are more important than fine-detail legibility.
The font reads bold and fun, with a slightly mischievous, cartoonish confidence. Its rounded massing keeps it approachable, while the cut-in details add personality and a retro display attitude.
Designed to deliver a loud, friendly display voice through oversized geometry and distinctive carved-in details, prioritizing instant recognition and a memorable silhouette in large-scale typography.
The notched detailing can become a prominent visual motif at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes it may reduce interior clarity due to tight counters. Numerals and capitals keep a similar weight and presence to the lowercase, emphasizing uniform impact over delicate differentiation.
