A chunky, faceted sans with planar, polygonal construction that replaces curves with angled cuts and flattened corners. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with slightly uneven edges that create a hand-hewn rhythm rather than a perfectly geometric one. Counters tend to be squarish and compact, terminals are blunt, and joins often form crisp angles, producing a sturdy, cut-paper or carved look. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, giving the set an intentionally irregular texture while maintaining consistent weight and overall legibility.
Best suited to display contexts where texture and personality are an asset—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or titles in playful themes, but the chiseled irregularity may feel busy in long-form text or at very small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a crafty, DIY energy that reads as fun rather than formal. Its sharp facets and bouncy irregularity evoke retro display lettering, game-like headers, and playful signage aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, approachable display voice by combining heavy, simple silhouettes with angular faceting and slight irregularity, creating impact without relying on ornamentation or true curves.
Uppercase forms feel compact and block-like, while lowercase adds a more casual, slightly narrower cadence; together they create a lively, uneven color on the line. Numerals match the same faceted logic, with simplified silhouettes and broad internal shapes that keep them readable at display sizes.
