A heavy, rounded display face with chunky, soft-rectangular forms and a distinctly cut, notched construction. Corners are generously radiused, while many joins and terminals show small squared bite-outs that act like ink-trap or stencil-style cut-ins, creating a lively, irregular rhythm. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, and curves are simplified into broad arcs; diagonals (in letters like V, W, X, Y) appear slightly tapered and uneven for a hand-shaped feel. Overall spacing reads compact and dense, with sturdy silhouettes that stay legible primarily through mass and strong negative shapes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, logos, title cards, product packaging, and playful branding where its chunky silhouettes can read at a glance. It can work for short captions or UI labels when set large, but the dense weight and notched construction favor display sizes over long-form text.
The tone is upbeat and offbeat—more toy packaging and arcade-era headline than formal typography. Its notched details and soft blocks give it a mischievous, cartoonish voice that feels energetic and a bit quirky, ideal for designs that want to signal fun over refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with friendly, rounded mass while adding personality through deliberate notches and simplified geometry. It aims for a one-of-a-kind, decorative presence that feels handmade and characterful, turning basic Latin shapes into bold, graphic icons.
Distinctive cut-ins appear consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping unify the set while keeping each glyph slightly idiosyncratic. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with simplified forms and squared counters that maintain the font’s bold, punchy texture in runs of text.
