A compact, heavy sans with rounded corners and simplified, geometric construction. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with tight apertures and small internal counters that create dense, high-ink shapes. Many curves show a slightly irregular, cut-in “notched” texture along the inside edges, giving the forms a handcrafted or distressed impression without changing the overall silhouette. Terminals are blunt, joins are sturdy, and the narrow proportions keep letters tall and packed, producing a strong vertical rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display settings such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, and merchandise graphics where its compact, heavy shapes can carry visual weight. It can also work for short bursts of UI or signage text when set with generous size and spacing, but the dense counters and interior texture make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, leaning toward retro display lettering with a playful, slightly mischievous edge. The subtle inner-edge distress adds a casual, handmade character that feels lively rather than formal.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines geometric simplicity with a distinctive inner-edge distress to differentiate it from standard bold grotesks. The goal seems to be maximum presence in limited horizontal space while keeping a friendly, playful personality.
Distinctive texture appears most noticeably in rounded characters (e.g., C, G, O, Q), where the inner contour shows small scoops or gouges. At larger sizes this detail reads as intentional personality; at smaller sizes it may visually fill in, especially in letters with already tight counters. Numerals are stout and headline-friendly, matching the letterforms’ compact width and heavy presence.
