A heavy, wide sans with a strongly geometric base and pronounced stroke modulation. Many forms are built from broad horizontal/vertical slabs paired with scooped counters and teardrop-like apertures, giving the letters a distinctive cut-in, ink-trap-adjacent look. Curves are round and generous (notably in C, O, S), while diagonals and joins are chunky and simplified; terminals tend to be blunt with subtly softened corners. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a large x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and single-storey a and g; counters are often reduced to small, rounded openings that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for high-impact display use—headlines, poster typography, branding marks, packaging, and promotional graphics—where its wide stance and sculpted counters can be appreciated. It can work for short UI labels or signage when large, but the dense black mass and stylized apertures make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold, friendly, and a bit mischievous, blending retro display energy with a contemporary, logo-ready solidity. Its exaggerated width and sculpted cutouts create a lively rhythm that feels sporty and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or text-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a distinctive, carved-counter signature—combining geometric sans proportions with playful cut-ins to keep large, heavy letterforms readable and memorable in display contexts.
Several glyphs show intentional “carved” interior spaces (e, a, g, s, 6/9) that add character and help prevent dark spots in dense settings. The design emphasizes strong silhouettes and consistent, graphic counter shapes, which makes it especially striking in short words and headlines.
