A heavy, block-built sans with faceted contours that replace curves with short straight segments and crisp corners. Strokes are broad and largely monoline, with slightly uneven edges and subtly inconsistent geometry that gives a hand-cut, planar feel. Counters tend toward squarish or polygonal shapes, and joins often create small notches and wedges rather than smooth transitions. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across letters, producing an energetic, uneven rhythm; numerals share the same chunky, carved construction and simplified interior shapes.
Best suited for display roles such as posters, flyers, short headlines, branding marks, and packaging where an assertive, characterful texture is desired. It can work for playful or edgy themes in entertainment and retail, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing to let the shapes breathe.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a comic, cut-paper or chiseled-sign character. Its angular facets and irregular rhythm feel expressive and streetwise rather than refined, lending a lively, slightly rebellious personality to headlines.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact through chunky massing and a faceted, carved geometry, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes over smoothness. The variable widths and intentionally irregular planar cuts suggest a display-first intent aimed at creating a hand-hewn, animated typographic voice.
In text settings the strong silhouette holds together well, but the variable widths and jagged facets create a deliberately rough texture that becomes visually dominant at longer lengths. The design’s distinctive counters and corner breaks provide strong recognition at display sizes, where the planar construction reads as intentional detail rather than noise.
