A heavy, geometric sans with faceted, wedge-cut terminals and frequent triangular notches that create a slightly stencil-like, cut-paper effect. Curves are simplified into chunky arcs with abrupt flats, and many joins resolve into sharp points rather than smooth transitions. Counters tend to be compact and sometimes asymmetrical, contributing to a lively, irregular rhythm across words. The overall silhouette is blocky and compact, with emphatic verticals and distinctive, carved-looking details that remain consistent from caps through numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title treatments, logos, and packaging where its carved geometry can be appreciated. It works especially well when a playful retro or slightly spooky/carnival display tone is desired, and is less appropriate for dense body text.
The style reads as energetic and mischievous, with a retro display sensibility that feels part comic, part poster. Its chiseled cuts add a handmade, DIY edge, giving text a theatrical, attention-grabbing presence rather than a neutral tone.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that borrows from chiseled or cutout construction, using consistent triangular incisions to inject motion and personality into otherwise geometric forms. The goal seems to be maximum visual punch and memorability through distinctive silhouettes and textured interior shaping.
The face maintains strong consistency in its notch-and-wedge motif, which becomes more pronounced at larger sizes where the angular cut-ins and pointed terminals are clearly visible. In longer lines, the irregular internal cuts create a textured color on the page, so spacing and size choice will strongly influence smoothness of reading.
