A heavy, all-caps-forward display face built from flat, chiseled planes rather than smooth curves. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline, with frequent beveled corners and polygonal counters (notably in O, Q, and numerals), giving letters a cut-from-paper or carved look. The lowercase follows the same faceted construction with a large, sturdy x-height and compact apertures; diagonals and joins feel intentionally uneven, producing a lively, slightly jittery rhythm. Numerals are bold and geometric, with octagonal-like bowls and strong, simplified forms that match the alphabet’s angular language.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its angular texture can be a feature: posters, event titles, playful branding, packaging callouts, and punchy social graphics. It can also work for signage-style headings and large labels where a hand-cut, bold look is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, with a handmade edge that reads more like crafted signage than neutral text typography. Its faceting and irregularity suggest a playful, slightly rough personality—bold, attention-seeking, and informal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with a crafted, faceted construction—evoking cut, chipped, or carved shapes while remaining readable at headline sizes. Its consistent planar geometry suggests a deliberate move away from smooth curves toward an edgy, handmade graphic presence.
Spacing appears generous and the silhouettes are highly inked, prioritizing impact over fine detail. The faceted treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a unified “carved” texture in lines of text.
