A sharply angular, geometric sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly faceted construction. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing polygonal bowls and pointed joins. Letterforms show intentionally uneven geometry—slight kinks, leaning terminals, and varied internal angles—creating a lively, hand-drawn rhythm while keeping overall proportions fairly consistent. The numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with hard-edged counters and segmented curves.
Best suited to display settings where its angular personality can be seen: posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and entertainment or event graphics. It can work for short bursts of text or pull quotes when a handmade, stylized tone is desired, but its jagged geometry is most effective at larger sizes.
The font projects a quirky, DIY energy with a slightly mischievous edge. Its jagged, cut-paper feel reads as playful and unconventional, evoking an indie zine or game-title sensibility rather than a polished corporate tone.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-cut, polygonal drawing style into a cohesive sans, prioritizing character and texture over neutral smoothness. By substituting curves with straight facets and keeping strokes consistent, it aims for a bold, quirky voice that remains structured and readable in display use.
Uppercase forms appear more rigid and emblematic, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic strokes and distinctive shapes (notably in curved letters), increasing texture in running text. The angular treatment remains consistent across letters and figures, giving the design a cohesive, intentionally imperfect voice.
