A heavy, compact sans with rounded geometry and pronounced, sculpted cut-ins that create a notched, chiseled look throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with gentle curvature on bowls and terminals and frequent wedge-like joins that make counters feel squeezed and asymmetrical. The overall rhythm is blocky and dense, with tight internal spaces, sturdy verticals, and occasional angled breaks that add a quirky, hand-cut feel while staying visually consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding moments where maximum impact is desired. It works especially well for playful packaging, event graphics, and merchandise, and can serve as a bold logotype style when used at larger sizes. For longer copy, its dense counters and strong shaping are more effective in short phrases than extended reading.
The letterforms project a bold, humorous energy—part retro display, part cartoonish signage. Its exaggerated weight and quirky notches make it feel loud and approachable, with a slightly mischievous, novelty tone that reads as attention-seeking rather than formal.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that stands apart through sculpted notches and compact, rounded silhouettes. Its construction prioritizes recognizability and personality at large sizes, delivering a distinctive, retro-leaning voice for branding and promotional typography.
Counters are relatively small for the weight, which amplifies the “ink trap / carved” impression in letters like B, S, and e. Numerals follow the same chunky logic with broad silhouettes and distinctive internal cut shapes, helping them hold their own in headlines and short bursts of text.
