A heavy, chunky display face built from sharp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are broadly uniform and end in blunt, angled terminals, creating a chiseled silhouette with frequent corner breaks and notched joins. Letterforms lean on compact, polygonal counters (notably in O, Q, and 8) and slightly inconsistent widths that add an intentionally rough rhythm. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and a generally compact, blocky feel; numerals follow the same faceted construction and read as bold, poster-ready shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, event titles, comic or game UI headings, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It can work well for logos or badges where a rugged, cut-out texture is desirable, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading or small sizes due to its dense fill and busy facets.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, like cut-paper lettering or a cartoon title card. Its irregular facets give it a handmade, slightly chaotic personality that feels fun rather than refined, with a strong “shouty” presence in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold massing and a distinctive faceted construction, substituting curves with crisp planes to create a rough-hewn, handcrafted look. Its variable letter widths and irregular edges suggest a deliberate move away from precision toward expressive, characterful display typography.
The angular construction stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the design feel cohesive even with its intentional unevenness. Round letters become many-sided, and interior spaces tend to be small, which increases darkness and impact. Spacing and widths vary subtly, adding movement but making long passages feel visually busy.
