A very heavy display serif with compact, rounded forms and crisp, rectangular notches carved into corners and joins. Strokes are broad and fairly even, with short wedge-like terminals and squared-off inner counters that give many letters a cutout, stencil-adjacent feel without true breaks. Curves are generous and geometric, while verticals stay firm and upright; overall spacing reads tight and logo-like, with simplified detailing that keeps shapes strong at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a bold, characterful serif can carry the composition. It also works well for title cards and short statements in entertainment or lifestyle contexts; for longer text, larger sizes and generous leading help maintain clarity.
The letterforms project a playful, retro-leaning attitude—confident and attention-grabbing, with a slightly whimsical, arcade/comic energy. The notched corners and chunky silhouettes add a quirky, handcrafted flavor that feels more expressive than formal.
The design appears intended as a decorative display serif that blends sturdy, rounded construction with repeated notched details to create a distinctive signature. It prioritizes impact and personality over neutrality, aiming for memorable word-shapes in branding and titling.
Distinctive corner treatments repeat across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a consistent rhythm of inset angles and flattened terminals. The figures follow the same chunky geometry and read best when given room; at smaller sizes the interior cut-ins and tight counters may visually fill in.
