A heavy, geometric sans with broad, blocky forms and softened corners. Many glyphs show distinctive cut-in notches and angular bite marks at joins and terminals, creating a chiseled silhouette while keeping overall mass and simple construction. Counters are generally round and compact (notably in O, o, 8), apertures tend to be tight, and several diagonals and joins are simplified into bold wedges that emphasize solidity over detail. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey a and g and short ascenders/descenders that keep the texture dense in running text.
Best suited for large-scale display work where its chunky silhouettes and notch details can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and playful branding. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, labels) where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable.
The font reads as upbeat and attention-seeking, with a quirky, toy-block energy. Its carved, bite-like details add a mischievous, cartoonish character that feels retro and display-oriented rather than sober or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through heavy, compact shapes while differentiating itself with consistent carved-in notches and wedge-like joins. It aims for a friendly, playful display voice built from simple geometric foundations.
The bold interior shapes and small apertures can cause counters to fill in at smaller sizes, while the distinctive notches remain a defining motif at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky geometry, with rounded bowls and simplified angles that keep the set visually consistent.
