A compact, heavy sans with sharply faceted outlines that replace curves with planar, chiseled segments. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with blunt terminals and occasional notches that create a cut-paper or carved look. The caps are slightly irregular in contour and width, and the lowercase follows the same angular logic with simplified bowls and angular joins; counters tend to be small and polygonal, especially in round letters like O, Q, and 8. Overall spacing reads sturdy and dense, with a lively, uneven rhythm created by the deliberate jitter in silhouettes rather than baseline slant.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, titles, and branding marks where the faceted texture can be appreciated. It can also work well on packaging or playful editorial callouts, and in game or event graphics that benefit from an energetic, cut-out aesthetic.
The face communicates a mischievous, handmade energy—somewhere between comic roughness and stone-cut geometry. Its sharp facets and chunky weight give it a punchy, rebellious tone that feels informal and expressive rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong display voice using angular, faceted construction to evoke hand-cut or carved lettering while remaining clearly sans in structure. Its irregular rhythm and chunky forms prioritize personality and impact over neutral readability in long text.
Round forms are consistently polygonized, producing distinctive octagonal counters and strong corner emphasis across letters and numerals. The numerals are bold and sign-like, matching the caps in texture and presence, and the overall texture holds up well at display sizes where the faceting becomes a defining feature.
