A heavy, chunky sans with broad proportions and rounded outer geometry paired with sharply sheared, wedge-like terminals. Counters are relatively small and often circular or oval, giving a compact internal rhythm. The design features distinctive diagonal cuts and notches that create a lively, faceted silhouette while keeping strokes largely monoline in feel. Curves are smooth and inflated, while joins and endings are intentionally abrupt, producing a bold, graphic texture that holds together well at display sizes.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and promotional graphics where strong presence is needed. It can also work well for sporty or youth-oriented branding, product labels, and bold UI elements (badges, buttons, hero text) where its distinctive cut terminals help differentiate short phrases.
The overall tone is energetic and attention-grabbing, with a retro poster feel and a playful, game-like swagger. Its exaggerated mass and quirky cut-ins read as friendly rather than formal, suggesting motion and impact. The texture feels designed to be seen quickly and remembered, leaning into fun, bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with friendly rounded forms, while adding character through consistent diagonal cuts and notches. It prioritizes recognizability and graphic punch over neutrality, aiming for a bold, stylized voice that remains coherent across letters and numerals.
The distinctive slanted cuts appear consistently across both uppercase and lowercase, giving the font a recognizable signature. Large, simple forms and tight counters create strong color on the page, while the diagonal details add sparkle without turning into ornamentation. Numerals share the same compact, punchy construction, matching the letterforms’ weight and stance.
