A faceted, all-caps-forward sans with sharp planar cuts replacing curves throughout. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, with corners broken into small angled segments that create a chiseled silhouette. The overall posture leans back slightly, and spacing is intentionally uneven, giving lines a lively, hand-set rhythm rather than a strict geometric cadence. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while lowercase keeps a straightforward structure with small, angular terminals and a similarly cut-in approach to bowls and joints. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, maintaining strong, blocky presence and consistent visual weight.
Best suited for display roles such as posters, headlines, logotypes, and short punchy phrases where the faceted edges can be appreciated. It can also work well on packaging or labels that benefit from a handcrafted, cut-out feel. For longer copy, larger sizes and generous line spacing help keep the angular texture readable.
The font reads as energetic and slightly mischievous, with a handmade toughness that feels more like cut paper or carved signage than polished digital geometry. Its angularity adds a hint of gothic or vintage novelty flavor without becoming overtly ornate, making the tone bold, characterful, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handcrafted display voice by translating simple sans structures into a faceted, carved-looking geometry. The slight back-lean and irregular rhythm suggest an aim toward expressive, character-led typography rather than strict neutrality.
At text sizes the repeated angled facets create a textured color on the line, and the irregular widths add bounce—especially in mixed-case settings. The design’s back-leaning stance and sharp corners increase perceived motion, which can feel expressive in headlines but visually busy in long passages.
