A heavy, angular sans with planar facets that replace many curves, giving letters a cut-from-sheet look. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with irregular chamfers and slightly uneven joins that create a lively rhythm across words. Counters tend to be compact and somewhat squarish, and terminals are often clipped rather than smoothly finished. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms (single-storey a and g) and a tall, narrow feel in letters like i, l, and t, while numerals are similarly geometric and emphatic.
Best suited to display typography where its faceted construction can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and short signage copy. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or section headers where a rugged, crafted texture is desirable.
The overall tone is rugged and energetic, mixing an industrial, constructed feel with a casual, handmade edge. Its faceted shaping reads as bold and attention-seeking, with a slightly quirky personality that keeps it from feeling purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to evoke a constructed, chiseled geometry—like letters cut, stamped, or assembled from flat planes—while keeping a friendly, informal rhythm. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and graphic impact over neutral text uniformity.
Spacing and silhouettes feel intentionally irregular, which adds texture at display sizes but also makes the texture more prominent in longer lines. The sharp facets and clipped corners create strong dark areas and distinctive word shapes, especially in round letters like C, G, O, and Q.
