A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes are monolinear and strongly geometric, with circular bowls and soft outer corners contrasted by flat, squared terminals. Several letters incorporate deliberate cut-ins and notches that create a subtle stencil-like segmentation, especially evident in forms like B, S, and Z. The lowercase is large and sturdy with short ascenders and descenders, producing a dense, even texture in text, while the figures and capitals maintain a consistent, weighty rhythm.
Best suited to display work where its chunky shapes and notched construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short, high-impact statements. It can also work for signage-style graphics or sports/event promotions where bold readability and character are priorities.
The overall tone feels bold and upbeat, with a retro display energy that reads as friendly rather than aggressive. The notched details add a mechanical, sign-paint/scoreboard flavor, giving it a sporty, poster-oriented character.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly geometric base, enhanced by signature cut-in details that help it stand out in branding and poster typography. Its large lowercase and dense texture suggest an emphasis on confident, attention-grabbing display setting over delicate text nuance.
The design’s tight apertures and compact internal spaces increase visual mass at smaller sizes, while the distinctive notches remain the primary identifying feature in larger settings. Pointed construction appears in some diagonals (notably V/W) alongside predominantly rounded geometry, adding punch to headlines.
