A very heavy, soft-cornered sans with compact, rounded counters and a deliberately irregular, cut-in construction. Strokes stay consistently thick while many joins and terminals show small notches and wedge-like bite marks that create an ink-trap/stencil-adjacent feel without fully breaking the shapes apart. The overall geometry leans toward squarish rounds (O, C) and blocky verticals, with slightly asymmetric detailing that adds texture and movement. Numerals and caps are broad and billboard-like, with simplified interior spaces for strong silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where silhouette and texture do the work—posters, punchy headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, and bold promotional graphics. It can also fit energetic branding themes (games, events, youth or sports-oriented materials) where a playful, rugged presence is desired.
The tone is bold and mischievous, combining a friendly, toy-like weight with roughened, cut-paper energy. Its notched details add a crafty, handmade impression that reads as retro and attention-seeking rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, notched construction that stays legible while adding character. Its combination of rounded massing and purposeful cut-ins suggests a goal of creating a recognizable, retro-leaning display voice that prints boldly and stands out in short phrases.
The distinctive internal cuts are consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the face a recognizable ‘bitten’ signature. Because counters are tight and weight is high, readability benefits from generous sizing and spacing, especially in dense text lines.
