A very heavy sans with compact, rounded geometry and a high, full x-height that gives lowercase a strong presence. Letterforms are built from thick, mostly monoline strokes with softened corners and broad curves, producing a dense, poster-like texture. Many glyphs feature distinctive internal cut-outs and notches—often like small wedges or counters punched into the strokes—which creates a stencil-like, decorative rhythm without adding serifs. The numerals and capitals follow the same chunky construction, with intentionally idiosyncratic details that make the set feel more display-driven than utilitarian.
Best used for headlines, posters, and branding moments where impact and character matter most. The weight and compact shapes suit packaging and logos, especially when set large enough for the internal cut-outs to read clearly. It’s less suited to long-form text, but works well for short, punchy lines and display typography.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, leaning playful and slightly retro. The repeated cut-out motifs add a crafty, hand-made character, giving the face a quirky, attention-grabbing voice suited to fun and energetic messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that merges chunky, rounded forms with deliberate cut-out detailing to create instant recognition. Its construction prioritizes visual punch, a memorable silhouette, and a playful rhythm across both caps and lowercase.
Spacing appears intentionally generous for such a heavy design, helping counters and cut-outs stay legible at large sizes. The irregular incisions vary by glyph, adding personality and motion, but also making long passages feel busy compared with simpler grotesks.
