A heavy, rounded sans with compact geometry and softly squared corners. Strokes are monolinear and blunt-ended, with large counters and simplified forms that prioritize bold silhouette over fine detail. Many glyphs feature distinctive triangular notches and cut-ins at joins and terminals, giving a slightly stencil-like, modular construction. Curves are broad and circular (notably in O/o and numerals), while straight-sided letters keep a blocky, low-detail rhythm and a tight, chunky texture in text.
Well suited to short, bold applications such as posters, headline typography, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for playful editorial callouts or event graphics, but is less ideal for long-form reading where a lighter, simpler texture would be needed.
The overall tone is upbeat and informal, with a toy-like softness and a retro display feel. The notched shaping adds character and motion, making the face feel energetic and intentionally quirky rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that combines rounded, approachable shapes with a recurring notched construction to create a memorable, graphic voice. Its emphasis is on distinctive silhouettes and punchy presence rather than typographic neutrality.
In paragraphs the dense weight creates strong color and high impact, while the repeated notches act as a signature motif across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The design reads best when given breathing room, as the chunky forms can visually merge at smaller sizes or in tight tracking.
