This typeface uses compact, tall proportions with heavy, monoline strokes and sharply angular terminals. Glyphs are built from straight segments with subtle, deliberate irregularities—tilted stems, slightly off-kilter horizontals, and asymmetrical counters—creating a cut-paper or hand-carved silhouette. Corners are crisp rather than rounded, bowls are squarish, and the overall rhythm is uneven in a controlled way, giving words a lively, jittery texture while maintaining clear letterforms.
Best suited for display settings where personality is the goal: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and entertainment or music-related graphics. It can work for short bursts of text or taglines, especially when you want a rough, handmade edge; for long reading, its irregular rhythm is more effective as an accent than as body copy.
The tone is mischievous and energetic, with a slightly menacing, comic edge. Its spiky geometry and intentional wobble evoke DIY poster lettering, punk flyers, and stylized “spooky” display type without becoming ornate. It feels loud and characterful, prioritizing attitude over neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-made geometric voice—like letterforms cut from rigid material and arranged with intentional imperfections. It aims for high impact and distinctiveness, using angular construction and uneven alignment to create a lively, expressive sans that stands out in graphic compositions.
Uppercase forms read as especially architectural and rectangular, while lowercase introduces more quirky asymmetries (notably in letters like a, e, g, and t). Numerals are similarly chunky and angular, matching the chiseled construction and keeping strong presence in mixed text. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, which adds motion and texture in longer lines.
