A heavy, wide sans with rounded outer corners and distinctive incised notches at key joins and terminals. Strokes stay broadly consistent, with slightly tapered or scooped connections that give letters a carved, chiseled rhythm rather than purely geometric construction. Counters are generous and generally open, and the lowercase shows a large x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, producing a dense, headline-ready texture. Numerals follow the same wide proportions with smooth curves and clean, sturdy silhouettes.
Best suited to display sizes where its wide stance and notched detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and storefront or wayfinding signage. It can work for short UI labels or subheads when a friendly, characterful emphasis is desired, but its strong width and texture are most effective in concise lines.
The overall tone feels friendly and upbeat, with a quirky, slightly retro personality coming from the softened corners and characteristic cut-in terminals. It reads confident and playful rather than clinical, lending warmth and charm to bold messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing sans that stays approachable, using rounded geometry and distinctive incisions to differentiate it from standard grotesques while preserving clear, readable letterforms.
Diagonal-heavy letters (like V, W, X, Y) show pronounced angled terminals and notched joins, reinforcing the ‘carved’ effect across the set. The round letters (C, O, Q, c, o, e) keep smooth bowls with clear apertures, helping maintain legibility even at large, heavy settings.
