A compact, heavy display sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened terminals. Strokes are consistently thick, with tight counters and frequent vertical cut-ins or notches that create a subtly stencil-like rhythm across many letters. Curves feel superelliptical rather than circular, giving bowls and arches a squarish softness, while joins stay clean and geometric. The lowercase is small relative to the capitals, and numerals share the same blocky, rounded geometry for a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to short-form settings where impact and character matter: headlines, poster typography, brand wordmarks, packaging, and title cards. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or signage when set with generous tracking and ample size to keep the interior shapes clear.
The overall tone is bold and whimsical, combining mid-century display energy with a slightly cartoonish warmth. Its notched details add personality and movement, making text feel lively and a bit mischievous rather than strictly neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint while maintaining a soft, approachable geometry. The recurring notches and rounded-rectangle forms suggest a deliberate display aesthetic aimed at memorable, stylistically unified headlines.
Spacing and silhouette create a dense, dark typographic color, especially in longer lines. The internal cut-ins become more apparent at larger sizes, where they read as intentional styling rather than texture, helping headlines look distinctive without relying on ornament.
