A heavy, compact sans with chunky rectangular masses and sharply chamfered corners. Strokes are broadly even and the counters are tight, giving the alphabet a dense, inked-in silhouette. Many glyphs show distinctive nicks and notches—especially at joins and terminals—creating a cut-paper or stamped look rather than a smooth geometric construction. Curves are minimized and often rendered as faceted arcs, with small interior apertures in letters like a, e, g, and s.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, album or event graphics, logos, and packaging where a dense, impactful texture is desirable. It can also work for playful signage or merchandise text when used with generous spacing and ample size to preserve interior details.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a slightly rough, handmade edge that reads as energetic rather than refined. Its angular cuts and compact rhythm evoke vintage poster lettering and label graphics, delivering a playful, offbeat personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a deliberately roughened, chiseled sans structure. Its notched corners and compact forms suggest an aim to mimic hand-cut, stamped, or woodblock-inspired lettering while staying firmly in a sans, all-caps-friendly display idiom.
The uppercase and lowercase share a consistent blocky logic, but the shapes retain intentional irregularities that add texture at display sizes. Numerals follow the same carved, faceted treatment and feel sturdy and attention-seeking. In running text, the tight counters and heavy color create a strong typographic “wall,” favoring short bursts over long passages.
