A heavy, blocky sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded outer shapes paired with sharply cut interior notches. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with compact counters that often appear as small circular or pill-shaped apertures. Many letters feature distinctive horizontal “slices” and wedge-like cut-ins that create a slightly segmented, engineered look while keeping the overall silhouette soft. The rhythm is dense and high-impact, with tight interior space and simplified terminals that favor bold mass over detail.
Best suited for large-scale display work such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, and packaging where the bold silhouettes and cut-out details can be appreciated. It also works well for short promotional lines and playful branding, but is less comfortable for extended reading due to its dense texture and tight internal space.
The font reads as upbeat and attention-grabbing, mixing friendly rounded geometry with cheeky cut-out details. Its exaggerated weight and compact counters give it a toy-like, poster-ready presence that feels retro-leaning and energetic rather than formal.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a distinctive, repeatable cut-out signature that differentiates it from standard rounded sans styles. The goal appears to be a friendly but assertive display face that holds attention and maintains a consistent graphic motif across letters and figures.
The sliced/cut-in motif repeats across multiple glyphs, helping the design stay cohesive even at large sizes. In continuous text the dense color and tight counters can make long passages feel heavy, but it excels when used to project impact and personality.
