A heavy, angular sans with faceted contours that feel cut from folded paper or carved with a knife. Strokes are predominantly straight with abrupt direction changes, producing wedge-like terminals and polygonal bowls; curves, where present, are simplified into short arcs and hard corners. The proportions run broad and squat, with compact counters and a slightly uneven rhythm that suggests intentional irregularity rather than strict geometric construction. Overall spacing appears generous enough to keep the dense shapes readable, while the outlines retain a crisp, cut-out silhouette.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, logo wordmarks, packaging, and event or music artwork where a rough-cut, high-impact look is desirable. It can work for short bursts of text, but the dense counters and jagged detailing are more comfortable at larger sizes than in extended reading.
The face conveys an assertive, gritty energy with a handmade edge—part comic, part street-poster, and slightly chaotic in a controlled way. Its jagged geometry reads as rebellious and attention-seeking, lending a quirky, unconventional tone to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, unconventional sans voice through deliberately irregular, hand-hewn geometry. Its construction favors distinctive silhouette and attitude over smoothness, aiming for maximal character and instant recognizability in display typography.
Distinctive angular bowls and diagonals give strong personality to both uppercase and lowercase, and the numerals carry the same carved, polygonal logic. The design’s sharp corners and compact internal spaces make it most effective when it can be shown at larger sizes where the faceting is clearly visible.
