A very heavy, slanted sans with softly rounded corners and a chunky, sculpted feel. The strokes stay broadly uniform, but many letters feature intentional cut-ins and short notches that create a stencil-like, segmented silhouette without breaking overall legibility. Counters tend to be small and rounded, terminals are blunted, and the rhythm is lively, with slightly irregular curves and widths that give the line a hand-shaped, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its chunky forms and decorative cut-ins can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text like callouts or labels, but extended paragraphs may feel dense due to the heavy color and tight counters.
The overall tone is upbeat and nostalgic, evoking mid-century sign lettering and playful packaging. Its exaggerated weight and quirky internal notches make it feel bold, informal, and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful sans that stands apart from neutral grotesques by adding carved notches and rounded, inflated forms. It prioritizes visual personality and impact, aiming for a retro, sign-inspired voice while maintaining readable letter shapes.
The distinctive cut-in details show up across both uppercase and lowercase, creating a consistent “carved” texture in words and headings. Numerals match the same rounded, chunky construction and read best when given ample size and spacing to let the interior shapes stay clear.
