A heavy, block-based display face built from angular, faceted forms with beveled corners and small cut-ins that create a chiseled, pseudo-3D look. Strokes are predominantly straight with sharp joins and squared terminals, giving the letters a sculpted, industrial silhouette rather than a smooth geometric one. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and several glyphs use notched or inset details that emphasize a carved, assembled construction. The overall rhythm is assertive and compact, with short extenders and a solid, poster-ready color on the page.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging callouts, and event or promotional graphics. It performs well when set large, where the angled cuts and carved details remain legible and contribute to the distinctive texture.
The tone is brash and mischievous, with a throwback flavor that feels at home in attention-grabbing graphics. Its exaggerated angles and chunky shapes communicate energy and spectacle, leaning into a deliberately odd, one-off personality rather than typographic neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, characterful display voice through carved-looking geometry and unconventional detailing. The consistent faceting and notched joins suggest an intention to mimic a cut, stamped, or chiseled aesthetic while staying highly graphic and attention-driven.
Uppercase forms feel more uniform and emblematic, while lowercase retains the same sharp, blocky logic, keeping the texture consistent in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the same faceted construction, supporting headline and badge-like uses where a cohesive, cut-out look matters.
