A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact, built-up feel. Curves are formed from near-circular bowls and soft corners, while joins and terminals often resolve into straight, slightly notched or stepped cuts that create a subtly constructed, cutout impression. Counters are generally small relative to stroke mass, and several letters feature distinctive internal apertures (notably the O-like forms) that read as punched holes. The overall rhythm is sturdy and even, with simplified geometry and minimal detail driving clarity at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks of text where mass and shape can carry the message—posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. The compact counters and heavy ink make it most effective at medium-to-large sizes, where its cutout details and rounded geometry remain crisp and legible.
The tone is bold and upbeat, mixing geometric friendliness with a slightly industrial, cut-paper personality. It feels retro-leaning and energetic, suited to attention-grabbing typography that prioritizes impact and charm over neutrality.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines simple geometric curves with constructed, notched terminals to create a distinctive, memorable voice. It aims to deliver strong presence and a playful retro flavor while staying clean enough for contemporary branding and signage-style applications.
Distinctive triangular and angled treatments appear in a few uppercase forms, adding a dynamic, sign-like accent to an otherwise rounded construction. Numerals and capitals maintain the same dense color and straightforward silhouettes, supporting consistent, poster-ready texture in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
