A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broad, flat-sided curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to be squared off with softened corners. Many glyphs show deliberate wedge-like notches and small interior cut-ins (especially around joins and bowls), giving a subtly carved, stencil-adjacent texture and helping counters stay open at display sizes. The overall rhythm is tight and dense, with short ascenders/descenders and wide, blocky bowls that keep forms stable and strongly silhouetted.
Best suited for display work such as posters, punchy headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, and bold promotional graphics where a dense, compact texture is an asset. It can also fit energetic editorial titling and sports or event branding that benefits from a strong, blocky silhouette.
The tone is loud and attention-grabbing, combining a friendly roundedness with a tough, poster-ready mass. The small angular cut details add a quirky, slightly industrial flavor, making the font feel both retro and boldly contemporary in the way it handles negative space.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited space, using rounded-rectangle geometry for friendliness while adding notched cut-ins to keep forms recognizable and textured under heavy weight. The result prioritizes bold legibility and a distinctive, carved personality for attention-focused typography.
Round letters (like O/Q) are more squarish than circular, and diagonals (V/W/Y) read as hefty wedges rather than sharp points. The sample text shows strong word-shape cohesion in all caps and mixed case, but the dense color and tight apertures suggest it’s most comfortable at headline sizes where the carved details can be appreciated.
