A heavy, block-built display face with broad proportions and softened, rounded corners throughout. Forms are largely orthogonal with squared counters and bowls, but edges are eased to avoid harshness, creating a molded, almost cutout look. Strokes stay consistently thick with small notches and inset corners that read like subtle ink-trap or stencil-like detailing, adding texture to otherwise simple geometry. The rhythm is compact and assertive, with short apertures and sturdy joins that emphasize mass and impact in headlines.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, badges, and logo wordmarks where its chunky shapes can read as intentional character. It can also work well in playful interfaces (e.g., arcade or game UI) and on packaging or labels that want a bold, friendly, slightly eccentric voice.
The overall tone feels playful and game-like—bold, attention-grabbing, and slightly mischievous rather than formal. Its softened corners and chunky construction give it a friendly, toy-box energy, while the squared structure keeps it punchy and graphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a distinctive, carved-in geometry—combining square construction with softened corners and small cut-in details to create a one-off, characterful display style.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged, modular construction, helping the type stay cohesive across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-rectangle logic, keeping counters tight and maintaining a strong, poster-friendly silhouette.
