A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and broad, low‑contrast strokes. Curves are built from simple geometric shapes, with softened corners and frequent teardrop or wedge-like cut-ins that create a stamped, slightly notched silhouette. Counters are small and openings can be tight, giving letters a dense, poster-ready color. The lowercase is bold and sturdy with short extenders, while numerals are large and simplified, matching the same chunky rhythm and rounded geometry.
Well suited for short, bold applications such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and brand marks where a strong silhouette is desirable. It can work for playful signage and display copy, especially at medium to large sizes where the small counters and internal cut-ins stay legible.
The overall tone feels playful and energetic, with a friendly, cartoon-leaning presence. Its notched forms and dense black shapes add a retro novelty flavor—more fun and attention-seeking than neutral or formal.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice, using consistent geometric curves and distinctive notched details to stand apart from more neutral sans styles. It prioritizes display character and memorability over small-size text clarity.
The design’s distinctive identity comes from repeated internal bites and cutouts (notably in curved letters and some diagonals), which add texture and motion but also reduce interior space at smaller sizes. It performs best when given breathing room, where its silhouette and quirky details remain clear.
