A heavy, blocky sans with sharp, planar facets that replace smooth curves, giving counters and outer strokes a chiseled, polygonal feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt or abruptly angled rather than rounded. The silhouette rhythm is slightly uneven from glyph to glyph, with subtly irregular joins and widths that create a hand-cut, poster-like texture while still retaining clear, simple constructions.
This font is best suited for short, prominent text where its angular facets and dense weight can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for punchy captions or labels, but will be less comfortable for extended body text due to its strong texture and irregular rhythm.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a rough-hewn energy that feels handmade rather than polished. Its faceted geometry reads as retro and slightly comic, projecting a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to informal or entertainment contexts.
The design appears intended to translate a cut-from-paper or carved, geometric look into a robust display alphabet. By swapping curves for facets and keeping strokes blunt and thick, it prioritizes impact and character over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, tactile presence in large sizes.
Round characters like O/Q/0 and numerals such as 8 and 9 are rendered as multi-sided forms, emphasizing the faceted theme. The lowercase shares the same chunky geometry and keeps details simplified, producing strong color on the page but a busier texture in longer passages.
