A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and strongly simplified construction. Strokes are uniformly thick, with rounded outer contours and frequent wedge-like cut-ins that create sharp notches at joints and terminals (notably in C, G, S, and several lowercase forms). Counters tend to be small and often circular, while many letters rely on flat-sided verticals and blocky joins (E, F, H, N), producing a dense, poster-forward texture. The overall rhythm alternates between round, puck-like forms (O, o, 8) and angular, faceted silhouettes (A, V, W, Z), giving the alphabet a distinctive, sculpted feel.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding moments where a distinctive silhouette is an advantage. It also works well for logo wordmarks, event graphics, and short, high-impact lines where the notched geometry can be appreciated at size.
The font reads as energetic and lighthearted, with a mid-century/retro display flavor and a toy-like chunkiness. The intentional notches and cut corners add a quirky, hand-cut or stencil-adjacent personality, making the text feel bold, friendly, and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that combines geometric building blocks with deliberate cut-ins to create a recognizable, playful voice. It prioritizes strong shape identity and compact, impactful color on the page over text-level neutrality.
Legibility remains strong at display sizes, but the tight counters and deep cut-ins can fill in visually as sizes get small or when used over complex backgrounds. The numerals share the same geometric logic, with rounded bowls and occasional angular cuts, helping headings and short numeric callouts feel cohesive with the alphabet.
