A heavy, rounded sans with puffy bowls and softened corners, built from broad strokes and simple geometric curves. Many terminals and joins are subtly angled or notched, giving the contours a slightly cut, chiseled feel rather than perfectly smooth circular forms. Counters are small and tight, producing dense, compact silhouettes and strong word color in text. The overall rhythm is steady and upright, with clear, blocky letterforms and sturdy numerals that hold their shape at large sizes.
This font performs best in display settings where impact and personality matter—headlines, posters, packaging, storefront signage, and bold brand marks. Its dense shapes and tight counters favor larger sizes, where the carved details and rounded forms remain clear and expressive.
The tone is bold and approachable, leaning toward playful, cartoon-like display typography. Its chunky massing and quirky angled cuts add a retro, handmade flavor that feels energetic and informal rather than strict or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded geometry, while adding character through consistent angled cuts at terminals and corners. It aims for a memorable, approachable display voice that stays highly legible in short text and prominent titles.
The angled cuts show up consistently across curves and terminals, creating a distinctive “carved” texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Round letters like O, C, and G read as slightly irregularized circles, and the digits carry the same chunky, friendly geometry for cohesive headline and poster use.
