This typeface is built from narrow, monolinear strokes with a distinctly hand-cut, slightly uneven edge. Letterforms are predominantly straight and angular, with frequent chamfered corners and small notches that create a carved or stencil-like rhythm without fully breaking strokes. Curves are simplified into faceted arcs (notably in C/G/O/Q), and terminals often taper into blunt points or clipped ends. Proportions are condensed overall, with tight internal counters and modest ascender/descender lengths; lowercase forms keep a compact footprint and a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable.
It works best in headlines, short blurbs, and branding where its angular texture can read as intentional personality. The condensed build makes it useful when space is tight—such as poster titling, packaging callouts, or logo wordmarks—while the irregular edges suggest using it at medium to large sizes for maximum clarity.
The overall tone feels quirky and handcrafted, evoking DIY lettering, cut-paper signage, or playful mid-century display work. Its controlled irregularity adds character and a slightly mischievous energy while remaining legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, handcrafted sans voice with a carved, faceted finish—prioritizing character and visual rhythm over neutral uniformity. It aims to be attention-grabbing and memorable while staying cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The figures and capitals share the same faceted, clipped construction, giving headlines a consistent, chiseled texture. Round shapes stay upright and narrow, and joins can appear slightly pinched, which adds to the handmade cadence and visual grit in continuous text.
