A heavy, compact display sans with strongly rounded outer contours and frequent horizontal shears that create wedge-like terminals and sliced internal cuts. Bowls and counters tend to be tight and asymmetric, with occasional thin, slit-like openings that heighten the sense of contrast within the otherwise dense black forms. The uppercase is broad and blocky while the lowercase stays large and sturdy, producing a prominent x-height and a tight, punchy texture in text. Diacritics are not shown; dots on i/j appear as rounded rectangles, and figures are similarly weighty and stylized with angled cuts and compressed interior space.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and identity work where its strong silhouette and playful cuts can be appreciated. It can work for punchy callouts and large-format copy, but the compact counters suggest avoiding small sizes or long passages where clarity may drop.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a comic, poster-like energy. Its chunky shapes and quirky cuts feel attention-seeking and fun rather than neutral or technical, leaning into a retro display personality.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact through massed shapes, rounded geometry, and distinctive sliced details. Its letterforms prioritize personality and recognizability over neutrality, aiming for a bold display voice that feels retro and fun.
The design relies on pronounced internal notches and angled slicing for character differentiation, which can make some glyphs feel intentionally irregular and expressive. In paragraph-like settings the dense color and tight counters create a strong, graphic rhythm where word shapes read best at larger sizes.
