A heavy, rounded display sans with broad proportions and a strong, even stroke. Many letters feature distinctive interior “bites” and wedge-like notches that carve into bowls and joins, creating a cutout, stenciled feel even where counters remain open. Curves are generous and circular (notably in O, Q, 6, 8, 9), while terminals and corners tend to be softened but often finished with angular, inset cuts. The lowercase is compact with a solid footprint, and several forms (a, e, s, g) emphasize asymmetrical cut-ins that add texture to the rhythm.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as posters, packaging, product marks, and short headlines where the chunky forms and carved-in details can be appreciated. It also works well for playful brand systems, event graphics, and bold social or thumbnail typography that benefits from a distinctive silhouette.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a toy-like, animated energy. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky cutouts read as approachable rather than severe, evoking retro signage, comic titling, and playful branding. The repeated “carved” details add a slightly crafty, handmade character without losing the strong graphic impact.
Designed to deliver maximum visual presence with a friendly, novelty-forward personality. The inset notches and cutout-like counters appear intended to create a signature texture and a pseudo-stencil/engraved effect while keeping letterforms simple and highly graphic.
The font’s identity is driven by consistent internal cut shapes that recur across rounds and joints, which helps unify the alphabet despite the irregularities. Counters can appear reduced or visually interrupted, especially in smaller apertures, making it feel most at home at larger sizes where the carved details read clearly. Numerals follow the same rounded, cut-in construction for a cohesive headline set.
