A heavy, slanted sans with compact internal counters and generously rounded outer curves. The letterforms combine smooth, swollen bowls with sharply cut, wedge-like terminals and occasional notched joins, creating a chiseled-yet-soft silhouette. Strokes feel monolithic and ink-trappy in places, with small apertures and horizontal cuts that add rhythm inside otherwise solid shapes. The overall texture is bold and dark on the page, with a lively, irregular edge character that reads as intentionally stylized rather than strictly geometric.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, branding marks, packaging callouts, and punchy title treatments. It can work for short blurbs or taglines where character is more important than long-form readability, especially when given generous spacing and size.
The font projects a playful, retro display energy with a slightly mischievous, cartoon-sign feel. Its chunky forms and angled stance give it motion and attitude, making it feel loud, friendly, and attention-seeking rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that exaggerates weight and curvature while adding cut-in details to keep the forms dynamic. The slanted construction and wedge terminals suggest an aim for motion and a distinctive, memorable silhouette for branding and promotional typography.
Circular letters like O/C/G and numerals show distinctive internal slicing/cut details that keep large black areas from becoming static. Diacritics aren’t shown, but the baseline rhythm and consistent slant help maintain coherence across mixed-case settings. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dark mass may reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the sculpted terminals become a key visual feature.
