A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and sculpted counters. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin shaping, with frequent horizontal cut-ins and wedge-like notches that create a carved, almost stencil-like rhythm inside bowls and joins. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, while corners are softened, producing a compact, chunky silhouette. Letterforms feel intentionally irregular in their internal shaping, giving the texture a lively, hand-cut quality while remaining consistently upright and firmly grounded on the baseline.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its sculpted contrast and chunky silhouettes can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, labels, and logo-style branding. It can also work for playful signage or display copy when generous spacing and size help keep the interior cuts from filling in.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, evoking mid-century display lettering and poster graphics. Its chunky forms and playful interior cuts make it feel approachable and attention-grabbing, with a slight novelty character that reads as energetic rather than formal.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold display voice with a retro, cut-letter aesthetic—combining wide, rounded shapes with deliberate internal notches to create a memorable, graphic texture in text.
The distinctive internal cutouts are especially visible in rounded letters and in characters with crossbars, creating strong horizontal accents and a patterned dark–light texture across words. Numerals match the same carved, bulbous construction, staying visually consistent with the uppercase and lowercase.
