This typeface is built from sharp, planar strokes that replace curves with faceted angles, giving each glyph a cut-paper, chiseled feel. Stems and terminals are irregular and slightly tilted, with a consistent diagonal slant that creates a back-leaning, energetic rhythm across words. Counters tend to be narrow and angular, and bowls are rendered as polygons or broken arcs rather than smooth rounds. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from letter to letter, reinforcing a hand-drawn, intentionally uneven texture while maintaining clear uppercase/lowercase differentiation and simple, sans-like construction.
Best suited to display settings where a gritty, angular personality is desirable—posters, headlines, titles, event graphics, album art, and bold packaging accents. It can also work for game/UI title screens or short labels where its distinctive texture carries the mood. For longer passages, larger sizes and relaxed line spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is mischievous and high-energy, with a raw, DIY attitude. Its jagged geometry and back-leaning motion read as rebellious and a bit chaotic, closer to zines, skate graphics, or stylized fantasy/arcade lettering than to neutral UI typography. The texture feels loud and expressive, designed to add character rather than disappear.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-cut, faceted drawing style into a coherent alphabet, prioritizing attitude and motion over strict regularity. By leaning glyphs and breaking forms into sharp planes, it aims to deliver an instantly recognizable, expressive voice that feels handmade and energetic.
Straight segments dominate even in traditionally rounded characters, producing distinctive diamond- and wedge-like forms in letters such as O and angular turns in S and G. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, keeping the set visually cohesive. At text sizes, the irregular stroke directions and varied widths create a strong patterning that can become dense, so it rewards generous sizing and breathing room.
