A heavy, angular sans with faceted construction that replaces curves with short planar segments. Strokes are consistently thick and low-contrast, with abrupt corners, clipped terminals, and slightly irregular outlines that suggest hand-cut geometry. Proportions lean compact with sturdy verticals and broad, blocky counters; round characters become multi-sided, and diagonals land with sharp, decisive joins. The overall rhythm is lively and uneven in a controlled way, giving headings a textured, cut-paper silhouette.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, packaging, and bold branding where texture and personality are assets. It also works well for short copy in playful contexts—event graphics, merchandise, or album art—especially when set large enough for the faceted details to read clearly.
The tone is bold and mischievous, with a handmade, crafty edge that reads as playful rather than formal. Its chiseled facets and chunky forms evoke retro display lettering, comic signwork, and DIY poster aesthetics.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a distinctive faceted silhouette, combining geometric construction with a deliberately handmade irregularity. It prioritizes character and immediacy over neutrality, creating a strong visual voice for expressive display typography.
The faceting is especially pronounced in traditionally round forms, producing polygonal bowls and apertures that add a distinctive “carved” look. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, keeping the set visually cohesive and attention-grabbing at larger sizes.
