A heavy, compact sans with rounded outer contours and abrupt internal cuts that create small notches and pinch-points at joins. Strokes are thick and generally even, with occasional waisted sections and asymmetrical shaping that gives letters a slightly hand-cut, poster-like rhythm. Counters are tight and often teardrop or oval, and terminals tend to be blunt with softened corners rather than sharp, geometric endings. Overall spacing reads dense and sturdy, emphasizing large black areas and strong silhouette recognition.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold promotional graphics. It can also work for playful signage or merch where strong silhouettes and dense color are more important than extended readability at small sizes.
The font conveys a bold, playful attitude with a distinctly retro, display-first personality. Its chunky forms and quirky cut-ins feel energetic and a bit mischievous, leaning toward pop graphics and headline humor rather than neutral text setting.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through thick, rounded shapes and distinctive internal cut details, producing a memorable silhouette and a lively texture in display settings.
The alphabet shows deliberate idiosyncrasies—particularly in joins, diagonals, and curved-to-straight transitions—that create a lively, uneven texture in longer lines. Numerals match the same chunky construction, with small counters and confident, billboard-style presence.
