A heavy, faceted sans with chunky strokes and sharply cut corners that create a hand-hewn, polygonal silhouette. Many counters are angular and slightly off-center, and joins often resolve into wedge-like cuts rather than smooth curves, giving the letterforms a carved, collage-like feel. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, producing an uneven, lively rhythm; the lowercase maintains a large, sturdy presence with simplified shapes and short extenders. Numerals follow the same angular construction, with conspicuously chiseled terminals and occasional internal notches.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, and display branding where an offbeat, handmade voice is desired. It can also work for playful editorial headers or album/merch graphics, especially at larger sizes where the faceted detailing remains legible.
The overall tone is mischievous and DIY, suggesting cut-paper signage, comic title cards, or a stylized “primitive” modernism. Its deliberate roughness reads energetic and rebellious rather than refined, with a friendly, game-like character that feels more expressive than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-cut, angular construction into a robust display alphabet, prioritizing personality and texture over strict regularity. Its exaggerated geometry and notched forms aim to deliver immediate visual punch and a distinctive, unconventional rhythm across words.
In text, the strong black shapes and irregular geometry create high visual impact, but the busy cuts and uneven widths can make dense setting feel noisy. The design shines when allowed room to breathe, where the distinctive counters and chiseled terminals can register clearly.
