A compact, heavy sans with sharply faceted outlines and a distinctly cut-paper geometry. Strokes stay broadly even, but edges are broken into angled flats and small notches rather than smooth curves, giving counters a squarish, carved look. Proportions are condensed with tall lowercase, and many glyphs show slight asymmetry and uneven shoulder/terminal angles that create a lively, handmade rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, beveled construction, with simplified interiors and tight apertures that prioritize impact over delicacy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging fronts, and logo wordmarks where the faceted silhouette can be appreciated. It can also work for themed event flyers, merchandise, or playful branding that benefits from a handmade, cutout feel; it is less appropriate for long passages where the dense forms and tight apertures may reduce comfort.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, like hand-lettered signage made with a knife-cut stencil. Its irregular facets add a comic, slightly spooky energy that reads as vintage, DIY, and attention-grabbing rather than corporate or polished.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a handcrafted, angular construction—evoking cut stencils and retro display lettering while staying within a sans framework. The slight irregularity and chiseled edges seem purpose-built to add personality and motion to simple word shapes.
The texture comes from consistently angled terminals, clipped corners, and occasional inward bites that create a jittery silhouette in words. At text sizes the tight openings and dense color can feel compact, while at display sizes the distinctive facets and playful wobble become the main feature.
