A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly swelling strokes. The letterforms are built from chunky, continuous shapes, then interrupted by small diagonal cut-ins that read like stencil breaks or ink-trap notches, creating a distinctive rhythm across rounds and bowls. Counters are compact, joins are smooth, and terminals are bluntly rounded, giving the design a dense, friendly silhouette. Numerals and caps carry the same cut-and-tilt logic, with a generally uniform, display-oriented texture rather than text-face regularity.
Best suited to logos, posters, headlines, and short punchy statements where the bold mass and cut-in details can be appreciated. It also fits packaging and sporty or youth-oriented branding that benefits from a lively, slightly retro voice. For longer passages, it will typically work better as accent text than as continuous reading copy due to its dense color and distinctive internal breaks.
The overall tone is energetic and upbeat, with a retro, hand-cut feel that suggests motion and bounce. The diagonal breaks add a mischievous, attention-grabbing twist, pushing the voice toward playful branding and poster typography rather than neutral information setting.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines a friendly rounded construction with a signature stencil/ink-trap style cut, adding texture and memorability without introducing serifs. The consistent slant reinforces a sense of speed and informality, aiming for expressive branding and attention-first typography.
The repeated diagonal cut motif becomes a primary identifying feature, especially in rounded letters like C, O, Q, and S and in figures, where it creates sharp highlights inside otherwise soft forms. The slant and heavy weight compress internal space, so the font reads best when allowed room and used at larger sizes.
