A heavy, rounded sans with largely uniform stroke weight and generously curved terminals. Many forms are built from near-circular bowls and broad arcs, but the curves are frequently interrupted by sharp, triangular cuts that create crisp notches and pointed joins. Counters are compact and strongly shaped (notably in O, P, R, a, e), giving the face a dense, punchy color. The overall construction reads geometric, with wide shoulders and simplified details that keep silhouettes bold and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its bold mass and distinctive notches can be appreciated—posters, packaging, signage, and brand marks. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or UI banners, but the dense counters and pronounced cut-ins suggest avoiding long passages of small text.
The mix of soft, rounded geometry and abrupt angled cut-ins gives the font a lively, mischievous tone—friendly at a glance but with a distinctive edge. It evokes a retro, poster-like sensibility that feels energetic and informal rather than corporate or neutral.
The design appears intended to be a standout display sans: simple geometric foundations enhanced with repeated angular cut details to create a memorable, characterful texture without sacrificing clarity.
The angular incisions recur across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a consistent signature that can read slightly stencil-like in places. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown; the impression here is driven by the strong, graphic alphabet and numerals.
