This typeface is built from bold, planar strokes that replace curves with sharp facets, producing polygonal bowls and segmented arcs. Stems are thick and fairly even in weight, with abrupt direction changes and slightly uneven terminals that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically perfect. Proportions run on the wide side with open counters; circular letters like O and Q read as multi-sided rings, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) appear strongly peaked and geometric. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably across the set, reinforcing an informal rhythm while keeping a consistent, blocky silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where the jagged, faceted texture can be a feature—posters, event graphics, playful branding, packaging, and short headlines. It also works well for titles in games or comics-style layouts, while extended body text may feel busy due to the strong angular rhythm.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, like lettering cut from paper or carved from a soft material. Its faceted geometry gives it a bold, graphic presence with a slightly chaotic, cartoon-adjacent personality that feels more expressive than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold sans voice with a deliberately hand-made, faceted construction—turning normally curved forms into crisp planes for a distinctive, graphic stamp. It prioritizes personality and impact over neutrality, aiming to stand out quickly at larger sizes.
Numbers follow the same angular logic, with distinctive, kinked strokes and polygonal curves that keep them cohesive with the caps and lowercase. The lowercase stays sturdy and readable, but the irregularity and sharp joins create a lively texture that becomes a defining feature in longer lines.
