This typeface is a compact, heavy sans with a deliberately irregular, hand-cut construction. Strokes are thick and generally monolinear, with frequent wedge-like cuts and notched joins that create sharp corners and faceted curves rather than smooth rounds. Bowls and counters tend toward teardrop and diamond-like shapes, and diagonals (as in A, V, W, X, Y) feel slightly pinched and asymmetric, adding a lively rhythm. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, giving the overall texture a bouncy, poster-like color rather than a strictly uniform system.
Best suited for short-form display work such as headlines, posters, titles, and logo wordmarks where its sculpted silhouettes and irregular rhythm can be appreciated. It also fits playful packaging and event graphics, especially when set with generous size and careful spacing.
The letterforms project a whimsical, slightly mischievous tone—part retro display, part handmade sign lettering. The jagged cuts and compact massing make it feel energetic and a bit theatrical, suited to attention-grabbing phrases more than quiet, neutral reading.
The design appears intended as an expressive display sans that prioritizes character and silhouette over strict geometric regularity. Its consistent heavy stroke and repeated wedge-cut motif suggest a goal of creating a bold, handmade look that remains legible while feeling intentionally unconventional.
Distinctive diamond-shaped tittles on i/j and pointed internal cut-ins appear throughout, reinforcing the carved, stencil-adjacent feel without reading as a true stencil. Numerals share the same chunky, faceted logic, with strong silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes.
