A heavy, compact sans with rounded outer contours and frequent internal notches and wedge-like cut-ins that create a chiseled, almost carved silhouette. Curves are full and bulbous, while straight strokes often flare or taper slightly, producing irregular negative spaces and a deliberately uneven rhythm. Counters are generally small and sometimes pinched or offset, and several shapes show distinctive incisions that interrupt otherwise solid forms, giving the alphabet a lively, tactile texture.
Best for display settings where impact and personality matter: posters, big headlines, branding marks, packaging, and playful editorial callouts. It will also work for large signage or merch-style graphics where the notched, carved details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is exuberant and mischievous, with a big, poster-like voice that feels retro and cartoon-adjacent. Its deliberate quirks and cut-in details read as handmade and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or corporate, lending a friendly but loud personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a distinctive cut-and-carve motif, balancing rounded geometry with deliberate interruptions to avoid a purely geometric or grotesque feel. It aims to be memorable and expressive in large sizes while maintaining a broadly sans structure.
At text sizes the dense weight and tight counters make it best suited to short runs; the notched detailing is a defining feature and becomes more apparent as size increases. The numerals match the uppercase’s mass and compactness, keeping a consistent, punchy color across mixed settings.
