A heavy, block-first sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. The forms mix straight-sided slabs and rounded bowls, with visibly softened corners and occasional wedge-like notches that read as deliberate cutouts. Stroke endings are predominantly blunt, and curves are simplified into bold, geometric segments, creating a strong silhouette-driven texture. Lowercase letters are large relative to capitals, with short extenders and tightly enclosed apertures that keep the rhythm dense and graphic.
Best suited for large-size applications where its bold silhouettes and cutout details can be clearly seen—such as posters, splashy headlines, packaging callouts, event graphics, and logo/wordmark explorations. It can also work for short, punchy statements in branding or social graphics, but is less comfortable for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and cartoonish, leaning toward mid-century poster and display lettering. Its exaggerated mass and quirky cut details give it a friendly, humorous voice that feels attention-seeking and informal rather than neutral or technical.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes character and shape over neutrality. By combining chunky geometry, softened corners, and distinctive notched details, it aims to deliver a memorable, retro-leaning voice for expressive editorial and branding use.
In text, the dense counters and tight openings create dark typographic color, so spacing and size have a strong impact on readability. The figures and uppercase maintain the same chunky, cutout aesthetic, reinforcing a cohesive, headline-oriented personality.
