A heavy, compact sans with large counters, rounded bowls, and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and confident with subtly irregular, slightly tapered joins that create a lively, hand-cut feel rather than a strictly geometric construction. Several letters show notch-like ink-trap cuts or pinched interior shapes (notably in rounded forms), which adds texture at display sizes and helps keep counters open. Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy; lowercase is similarly chunky with a simple single-storey look where applicable and a firm baseline presence.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, and bold title treatments where its chunky forms and notch details can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding and packaging that aims for a playful, retro, or handcrafted feel, especially in short phrases and large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a playful retro energy. Its notched detailing and buoyant curves give it a slightly comic, poster-like personality that reads as friendly and attention-grabbing rather than formal or technical.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, characterful silhouette—combining sturdy sans shapes with intentional pinches and ink-trap-like cuts to keep forms open and add visual flair. The emphasis is on expressive display readability and a memorable texture across the alphabet and numerals.
The design emphasizes big shapes and clear silhouettes, with tight internal spacing that becomes a key part of its character. Rounded letters and numerals maintain strong black mass while preserving legibility through generous counters; the ink-trap/notch accents add a distinctive signature in large headlines.
