A heavy, geometric display sans with broad, squared-off proportions and rounded outer curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with compact counters and frequent stencil-like cut-ins and notches that create sharp internal corners and distinctive silhouettes. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms and wide bowls; the overall rhythm feels modular and built from circles and rectangles with chamfered or stepped joins. Numerals are equally weighty and block-driven, maintaining the same closed apertures and high visual density across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold signage where its chunky forms and distinctive cut-ins can read clearly. It can work for short bursts of display copy, but the dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or overly tight letterspacing in longer text.
The tone is loud and friendly, with a toy-like, poster-era energy. Its deliberate cutouts and chunky geometry add a slightly mischievous, arcade/retro flavor while still reading as clean and contemporary at large sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive geometric system and memorable cutout details, balancing rounded friendliness with crisp, graphic edges for attention-grabbing display typography.
Because counters and apertures are tight, the face gains character from mass and silhouette rather than interior detail. The more angular, notched terminals and wedge-like joins become a key identifying feature in text, especially in letters like S, V, W, X, and Y.
