A heavy, blocky sans with broad proportions and soft, rounded outer curves, frequently interrupted by sharp triangular notches and wedge-like joins. Counters are generally small and simplified, and several forms lean on geometric primitives (circular O/0, straight-sided stems) combined with scooped cuts that create a faceted, stencil-like rhythm. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with single-storey a and g, a large round i/j dot, and a distinctive, cut-in terminal treatment on curved letters such as c, e, and s. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, with the 0 rendered as a solid round form with a small inner counter and the 8 built from stacked rounded shapes.
Best suited to display typography: headlines, posters, cover art, and branding where a bold, characterful voice is desired. It can work well on packaging and signage that benefits from a playful, retro-cartoon tone, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing to keep counters and notches clear.
The notched, almost “carved” shapes give the face a lively, toy-like energy—part retro display, part comic signage. Its bold silhouettes read as friendly and attention-seeking, with a slightly mischievous tone created by the repeated bite-like cutouts and exaggerated roundness.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that fuses rounded geometry with deliberate cut-in notches to create a distinctive, mascot-like personality. Its construction prioritizes silhouette, repetition of shapes, and visual punch over neutrality, aiming for immediate recognition in short phrases and titles.
At text sizes the interior counters and notched cuts can merge visually, so the design’s strength is in headline and short-line settings where its silhouette and rhythmic cuts remain distinct. The overall impression is cohesive and intentionally stylized rather than neutral, with consistent use of circular counters and angular scoops across letters and figures.
