A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and soft, blunted terminals. Strokes are thick and high-contrast in silhouette, with numerous small internal knockouts and inset cutouts that read like carved highlights or punched holes, adding texture inside otherwise solid forms. Curves are generous and geometric, counters tend to be compact, and joins stay smooth rather than sharp. The overall rhythm is bold and even, with slightly irregular interior detailing that gives the letters a crafted, stamped feel in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where the chunky shapes and interior cutouts can be appreciated—posters, headlines, playful branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for short, bold UI labels or signage where a friendly, informal voice is desired, but it will be most legible and distinctive at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like softness and a cheeky, attention-grabbing presence. The interior cutouts add a lively, decorative sparkle that leans toward retro novelty and casual fun rather than formal or technical communication.
The design appears intended as a bold, characterful display face that combines soft, rounded construction with decorative internal cutouts to create a distinctive, novelty-forward texture. The consistent heft and wide stance prioritize immediate impact and a friendly personality over neutral readability.
The smallest interior knockouts become a defining feature at larger sizes, where they read clearly as intentional insets; in longer text they can introduce visual noise compared to a plain heavy sans. Numerals match the same rounded, carved-in style, keeping the set cohesive for headlines that mix letters and digits.
