A condensed, angular sans with chiseled contours and subtly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are built from straight segments and shallow curves, producing a faceted silhouette—especially in rounds like O/C and in diagonals like K/V/W/X. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with small kinks, notched corners, and occasional asymmetry that creates a hand-cut or stamped feel. Proportions are tall and compact, with tight interior counters and a rhythm that alternates between narrow uprights and slightly wider, splayed shapes in letters like M and W.
Best suited to short-display settings where its texture and angular details can be appreciated: posters, headlines, packaging labels, signage, and cover typography. It can work for themed applications (quirky, rustic, or slightly eerie) and for branding that wants a handmade, unconventional voice; for long passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is quirky and handcrafted, evoking cut-paper signage, folk poster lettering, or a lightly spooky carnival vibe without leaning into overt horror tropes. Its narrow stance and jagged details give it an energetic, offbeat personality that reads as informal and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, hand-constructed sans voice—combining condensed proportions with faceted, chiseled outlines to create a memorable display texture. Its controlled monolinear strokes suggest an aim for bold presence while preserving an intentionally imperfect, crafted character.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, compressed framework, with single-storey forms where applicable and simplified terminals throughout. Numerals match the same faceted construction, with angular turns and compact bowls that keep the texture dense in running text.
