A geometric sans with rounded terminals and pronounced stroke modulation that reads as cut-out and graphic rather than calligraphic. Counters are large and clean, with circular forms (O, o, 0) leaning toward near-perfect rounds, while many joins and notches introduce sharp internal corners that create an ink-trap-like effect. Curves and straight strokes alternate with a slightly irregular, variable rhythm across letters, giving the alphabet a lively texture. Descenders and ascenders are simple and vertical, and punctuation/diacritics (like dots) appear as clean circles that match the overall rounded vocabulary.
Best suited for display typography where its notched geometry and rounded shapes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding systems, logos, packaging, and short punchy UI or in-app moments. It works especially well in large sizes on high-contrast backgrounds, where the counters and cut-ins stay crisp and intentional.
The tone is upbeat and characterful, mixing mid-century sign-painter friendliness with a light sci‑fi/tech flavor. The high-contrast, notched details add a quirky edge that feels designed for attention rather than neutrality, making the overall voice playful, bold, and distinctive.
Likely intended as a distinctive display sans that modernizes geometric construction with playful cut-ins and rounded terminals to create a memorable silhouette. The design balances clarity (open counters, simple structure) with personality (notches and variable rhythm) to stand out in branding and headline settings.
Distinctive notches and pinch points appear in several uppercase forms (notably around joins in M/W and along interior corners), which can create striking shapes at display sizes but may become busy when set small. The numerals follow the same rounded, graphic construction, with clear, open shapes and strong silhouette differentiation.
