A heavy, rounded geometric sans with broad, compact proportions and smooth, continuous curves. Letterforms are built from simple circular and rectangular components, with softened corners and generous interior counters that keep shapes legible at large sizes. Many glyphs feature distinctive inline cut-ins or breaks (notably in E, F, Z and several numerals), creating a subtle stencil-like rhythm without breaking the overall solidity. The lowercase is single-storey and simplified, with sturdy stems and wide shoulders, giving the design a cohesive, blocky texture in text.
Best suited for display work where mass and personality are assets: headlines, posters, branding, packaging, and signage. The strong silhouettes and distinctive cut-ins make it effective for short phrases and logos, while longer passages will appear dense and highly stylized.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, mixing a 1970s/arcade-era friendliness with a crisp, graphic punch. The cut-in details add a lively, constructed feel that reads as playful and slightly futuristic rather than formal.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that combines rounded geometric construction with a built-in, cut-in motif to create instant recognizability and a retro-graphic voice.
In the sample text, the dense weight and compact spacing create a strong headline color, while the repeated notches act as a recognizable signature. Round characters like O and 8 feel especially full and stable, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are bold and angular, providing contrast against the otherwise soft geometry.
