A heavy, wide display sans with pronounced stroke modulation and soft, rounded shaping. The letterforms are built from chunky masses with scooped interior counters and frequent notch-like cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like texture at joins and corners. Curves (C, O, S) read full and bulbous, while straights (E, F, H, I) stay sturdy and compact, producing a tight, poster-oriented rhythm. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with open, rounded bowls and strong horizontal emphasis.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as posters, striking headlines, brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics where bold silhouette and distinctive counter-shaping can carry the design. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when a loud, characterful voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and friendly, with a retro, headline-driven attitude. Its sculpted notches and rounded heft give it a playful, slightly funky personality that feels assertive without becoming sharp or aggressive.
Designed to maximize impact through broad proportions, high visual weight, and sculpted counterforms. The notch-and-scoop detailing suggests an intention to preserve clarity at heavy weights while adding a recognizable, retro display texture.
Spacing appears intentionally generous at the glyph level, and the shapes hold up well at large sizes where the interior scoops and counterforms become part of the visual identity. Several letters show distinctive cut-ins at terminals and joins, adding texture and a handcrafted, punchy flavor.
