A heavy, angular display sans with faceted contours that feel cut or chipped rather than smoothly drawn. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but edges and joins show deliberate irregularity, producing a lively, uneven rhythm across a line. Counters are compact and often polygonal (notably in O/Q/0/8), and terminals tend to finish in blunt, wedge-like cuts. Proportions lean slightly condensed in some letters, while others widen, contributing to an intentionally inconsistent, hand-made texture.
Best suited to posters, headlines, packaging, and branding moments where a bold, handmade personality is desired. It also works well for short captions, stickers, event graphics, and logo-style wordmarks, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the faceted details remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a DIY, hand-cut energy that reads as playful rather than formal. Its roughened geometry suggests craft, zines, or retro novelty signage, giving text a loud, characterful presence.
The font appears intended to deliver a strong, informal voice through deliberately roughened geometry—evoking cut-paper or carved shapes while staying firmly sans in construction. Its goal is impact and personality, prioritizing expressive texture and distinctive letterforms over neutrality.
The design emphasizes distinctive silhouettes over smooth readability: small apertures and tight counters can darken in longer text, while the jagged edge treatment adds visual noise that becomes part of the style. Numerals match the same chiseled, polygonal construction, keeping the set cohesive for short, emphatic statements.
