A heavy, faceted display sans built from straight-edged planes that replace curves with angled cuts. Strokes are consistently thick with blunt terminals and small notches, giving many letters a carved, polygonal silhouette. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with compact counters and slightly uneven widths that create a lively, hand-cut rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky, cut-paper geometry, maintaining a tight, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and energetic packaging. It also works well for themed event promotions where a bold, cut-out look is desirable, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is loud, mischievous, and playful, with a rough-hewn energy that feels more handmade than engineered. Its sharp facets and bouncy rhythm suggest comic, spooky-fun, or novelty signage rather than neutral information design.
The design appears intended to translate a carved or cut-paper aesthetic into a robust, all-caps-friendly display voice, prioritizing characterful silhouettes and visual punch over smooth neutrality.
The angular construction produces distinctive inner shapes in letters with counters (like A, B, O, P, R), which read as small polygonal apertures. At smaller sizes, these tight counters and frequent corner cuts may reduce clarity, while at larger sizes they become a defining stylistic feature.
