A heavy, rounded sans with chunky proportions and subtly irregular geometry. Strokes are broadly uniform but show noticeable localized thinning and thickening at joins and curves, giving a lightly contrasted, hand-cut feel. Counters are generally large and round, with small angled notches and wedge-like terminals appearing throughout, creating a lively texture. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, a dot on i/j that reads as a small round blob, and overall generous shapes that stay readable at display sizes.
Best suited for short-form display typography such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and playful branding where strong silhouette and personality matter. It can work for brief UI or social graphics at large sizes, but the busy internal cuts may feel dense in long text or at very small sizes.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a cartoonish, retro sensibility that feels approachable rather than formal. The nicks and angled cuts add character and motion, suggesting a playful, slightly mischievous voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly display voice with a retro-cartoon flavor, using rounded construction and repeated angled notches to create a memorable, branded texture across letters and numerals.
The distinctive diagonal nicks/cuts show up in multiple glyphs (including rounded letters and numerals), creating a consistent signature detail. The numerals are stout and display-oriented, matching the letterforms’ soft-cornered, chunky rhythm.
