A heavy, geometric sans with rounded curves, softened joins, and frequent ink-trap–like notches at interior corners. Strokes are robust and largely monoline in feel, but with noticeable contrast created by tapered terminals and cut-in counters that sharpen the rhythm. Apertures are generally tight, bowls are broad, and many letters feature distinctive wedge cuts or scooped joins that give the shapes a carved, stencil-adjacent flavor without breaking the forms. Lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact extenders, keeping word shapes dense and blocky at text sizes.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, brand marks, packaging, editorial headlines, and event graphics where the bold shapes and decorative cut-ins can be appreciated. It can work for short UI labels or wayfinding at large sizes, but the tight apertures and stylized joins make it less ideal for long-form reading in small type.
The overall tone is upbeat and stylized, blending mid-century signage energy with a contemporary, vector-clean finish. The cut-ins and rounded geometry lend a friendly, slightly quirky personality that reads as designed and expressive rather than neutral.
The font appears intended as a characterful display sans: a geometric foundation enhanced with sculpted interior cuts and softened corners to create a memorable, logo-friendly voice. Its emphasis is on strong, readable silhouettes with distinctive detailing that adds personality without relying on serifs.
The design leans on strong silhouettes and consistent curve logic, with especially distinctive circular letters and a characterful ampersand. Numerals are equally weighty and graphic, suited to attention-grabbing settings where shape recognition comes from bold mass and simple geometry.
