A heavy, geometric sans with broadly rounded bowls, flat terminals, and a crisp, cut-out construction. Many letters show vertical slit-like openings and notches that create a stencil-like feel, with counters often appearing partially interrupted rather than fully enclosed. Curves are built from simple circular/elliptical geometry, while joins and diagonals stay blunt and sturdy, producing a compact, high-impact silhouette. The overall rhythm is consistent and blocky, with simplified forms and strong interior negative space shaping readability at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short display copy where the cut-out shapes remain clear and add character. It can work well on packaging, labels, and signage that benefits from a bold, friendly presence; for long text or small sizes, the interior interruptions may become visually busy.
The cut-out details and oversized mass give the face a bold, playful personality with a distinctly retro, poster-ready attitude. It reads as energetic and slightly quirky—more about graphic impact than neutrality—while still feeling approachable due to its rounded construction.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum graphic impact through thick, rounded forms paired with consistent stencil-like cutouts, creating a recognizable texture that stands out in branding and display typography.
The distinctive vertical cuts appear across multiple glyphs (notably in rounded lowercase like a, b, d, e, p, q), creating a repeated motif that can become a strong branding signature. The numerals share the same chunky geometry and prominent counters, matching the overall texture closely.
