A heavy, display-oriented sans with broad proportions and generously rounded geometry. Strokes are predominantly monoline but punctuated by sharp ink-trap-like notches and wedge cuts at joins, giving counters and terminals a carved, high-impact look. Round letters are built from near-circular bowls with tight apertures, while many diagonals and joins show crisp triangular incisions that add rhythm and prevent dark clumping. The lowercase features a large, prominent x-height with compact ascenders/descenders and a single-storey a; punctuation and figures match the dense, blocky color with open, readable shapes.
Best suited for large-size applications where its weight and carved details can be appreciated: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and attention-driven digital graphics. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes, but its dense color and decorative cuts make it less appropriate for long body text.
The overall tone is bold and buoyant, mixing friendly roundness with energetic, cut-in details that feel sporty and attention-grabbing. It reads as contemporary and approachable rather than formal, with a slightly mischievous, poster-like presence.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric foundation, adding distinctive wedge-cut detailing to improve separation at heavy weights and to create a recognizable, branded texture in display settings.
The design maintains a consistent dark typographic color, but the strategic notches and wedge cuts introduce texture and help define letterforms in tightly set words. Diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and z emphasize the chiseled theme, while counters in O/Q/8/9 stay large enough to keep the face from becoming muddy at display sizes.
