A chunky, heavy sans with an irregular, hand-cut construction and distinctly faceted contours. Strokes are built from short planar segments rather than smooth curves, producing diamond-like counters in rounded letters and wedge-shaped joins throughout. Terminals are blunt and softly rounded, while diagonals and angles dominate the silhouette, giving the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with compact bowls and broad, blocky stems that keep color dense and consistent in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, game or entertainment titles, packaging callouts, and expressive brand marks. It can work for brief text blocks at generous sizes, where the faceted forms and tight counters remain clear.
The face conveys a playful, cartoonish energy with a tactile, cut-paper feel. Its angular facets and bouncy rhythm read as mischievous and informal, leaning toward retro display styling rather than neutral utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful display voice by replacing conventional curves with sharp planar facets while maintaining a friendly, approachable mass. Its controlled irregularity suggests an aim for handmade charm with strong readability at headline sizes.
Counters tend to be small and geometric, which increases visual weight and makes interior spaces appear jewel-like in letters such as O and Q. The overall spacing and letter shapes feel intentionally idiosyncratic, favoring personality and impact over strict regularity.
