A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions, soft corners, and subtly irregular silhouettes. Many letters show small carved notches and scooped joins that read like decorative ink-trap details, giving counters and terminals a stamped or cut-out feel. Curves are broad and geometric, while some straight strokes taper into angled cuts, creating a lively rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals and punctuation follow the same chunky, simplified construction, with circular forms (like O/0) rendered as thick rings and minimal interior space.
Best suited for headlines and short display copy where its chunky shapes and decorative cut-ins can carry personality. It can work well for posters, packaging, and branding needing a friendly retro punch, and for signage where bold presence matters more than fine detail.
The tone is bold and cheerful, with a toy-like, mid-century display energy. Its notched details add a mischievous, handmade character that feels more expressive than neutral, leaning toward fun, novelty, and upbeat signage.
Likely designed as a characterful display sans that combines geometric softness with purposeful cut-in details to keep large, heavy shapes from feeling static. The construction suggests an aim for high impact with a distinctive, playful voice for modern retro applications.
Letterforms appear intentionally stylized rather than strictly systematic: several glyphs use asymmetric cut-ins and distinctive joins that create a bouncy texture in words. The heavy weight and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the interior shapes and notches remain clear.
