A heavy, blocky sans with rounded outer corners and a distinctly carved, notched construction. Strokes are broadly uniform and the geometry reads as squarish and compact, with large, simplified bowls and short joins. Many counters and apertures appear as small rectangular cut-ins or inset holes, giving the glyphs a stencil-like, scooped interior without breaking overall solidity. The lowercase maintains a high, robust presence with simple forms and minimal modulation, while numerals follow the same chunky, tightly fit rhythm.
Well suited for posters, headlines, and short punchy statements where the chunky silhouettes can dominate the page. It also works for logos, packaging, and labels that want a bold, crafted display voice, especially in single words or tight lines rather than long reading passages.
The overall tone is bold and friendly, with a playful, retro display attitude. The notched insets add a crafted, toy-block character that feels energetic and attention-seeking rather than formal or neutral.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive carved-in detail, combining soft, rounded outer shapes with crisp interior notches for recognizability. The goal seems to be a memorable display sans that stays legible while projecting a playful, retro-graphic personality.
The design favors strong silhouettes and tight interior detailing, so the texture becomes very dark at text sizes; it reads best when given room and size. The recurring rectangular insets create a consistent motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a distinctive, branded look.
