A heavy, chunky sans with planar, faceted construction that replaces smooth curves with short straight segments and clipped corners. Strokes maintain a mostly even weight while showing subtle, intentional irregularities that create a cut-paper or carved feel. Counters are rounded but polygonal, and terminals often taper or bevel, producing a lively, slightly uneven rhythm. Proportions are broad with generous internal space, keeping letters readable despite the fractured outlines.
Works best in display settings where its angular texture can be seen clearly, such as posters, packaging, logos, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can also serve short bursts of text—captions, labels, or merch graphics—when a bold, handmade voice is desired.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, with a crafty, hand-cut character that feels friendly rather than technical. The faceting adds a bit of edge and comic attitude, giving headlines a playful bite and a distinctive, homebuilt personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, friendly sans impression while injecting character through faceted geometry and deliberately imperfect edges. It aims for high impact and memorability, echoing hand-cut signage or carved lettering without relying on decorative add-ons.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps a compact, bouncy texture in text. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with the round figures rendered as multi-sided shapes for consistent texture across mixed alphanumerics.
