A compact, angular sans with faceted strokes and intentionally irregular outlines. Corners are sharply cut, with frequent diagonal terminals and wedge-like joins that create a hand-cut, chiseled silhouette. The letterforms show mild width and stance variation across the set, producing a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency. Counters tend to be small and polygonal, and several glyphs (notably S, G, and numerals) lean into kinked curves that read as carved angles rather than smooth arcs.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its angular texture can be a feature rather than a distraction. It can work well for branding accents, event graphics, album art, and packaging that want a lively, cutout-style voice. For longer paragraphs, it’s likely most effective as an occasional emphasis face paired with a calmer companion.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a DIY, cut-paper energy that feels spirited and slightly offbeat. Its crisp angles and uneven cadence suggest a retro poster sensibility—more expressive than neutral—while staying firmly in sans territory.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, handcrafted sans look using faceted construction and slightly irregular proportions. By replacing smooth curves with angled cuts and keeping counters compact, it aims for a memorable display texture that remains straightforward to set while still feeling characterful.
The sample text shows strong presence at display sizes, where the faceting and diagonal terminals become a defining texture. At smaller sizes, the tight apertures and busy angles can merge visually, so generous sizing and spacing will help maintain clarity.
