A heavy, compact sans with soft, rounded geometry and a strongly sculpted, cut-out construction. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, while many letters feature distinctive wedge-like notches and interior cut-ins that behave like stylized ink traps, creating a chiseled rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are generally small and often teardrop or oval, with several characters showing intentionally narrowed apertures and quirky asymmetries. The lowercase maintains a large, dominant x-height and simple, single-story forms, and the overall texture is dark and blocky with lively internal shaping rather than fine detail.
Best suited to display typography where its dense color and sculpted cut-ins can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and branding marks. It can also work for short bursts of copy (taglines, callouts) when generous size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is bold and humorous, with a retro poster sensibility and a slightly mischievous, cartoonish edge. The repeated cut-ins give it a crafted, hand-cut feel that reads as expressive rather than neutral, making it feel energetic and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a playful, retro-forward personality, using heavy massing and signature cut-in details to create memorability and a strong, graphic silhouette.
The notches and tight counters become a key identifying motif and will be most visible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction, with distinctive interior openings and occasional angled bite marks that keep the set visually consistent.
