A heavy, all-caps-forward sans with faceted, polygonal letterforms and deliberately uneven contours. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, but edges break into angled cuts and small notches that create a hand-carved, cut-paper rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt and chamfered, counters are tight and often squarish, and curves resolve into segmented arcs rather than smooth rounds. Overall spacing feels compact and the silhouette reads as chunky and slightly unruly, with subtle glyph-to-glyph variation that contributes to a variable, handmade texture.
Best suited to large-size applications where its chunky faceting and irregular details can be appreciated—posters, event promotion, packaging, attention-grabbing headers, and logo wordmarks. It works particularly well when a handmade, punchy texture is desired rather than a smooth geometric finish.
The face conveys a loud, playful energy with a rough-hewn confidence—more street-poster and DIY than polished corporate. Its angular cuts and bouncy shapes suggest spontaneity and attitude, lending a humorous, slightly rebellious tone to headlines and short statements.
The design intention reads as a bold display sans that mimics cut or carved lettering through angular chamfers and slightly inconsistent outlines. It prioritizes personality and impact over neutrality, aiming to add visual noise, motion, and attitude to short bursts of text.
The uppercase set appears especially assertive, with wide, blocky masses and distinctive corner cuts that keep repeated shapes from feeling mechanical. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, maintaining consistency in weight and texture for display settings.
