A stylized sans with tall proportions and a distinctly uneven, hand-cut feel. Strokes remain generally monolinear but taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals, creating a chiseled silhouette and a slightly jagged rhythm along baselines and cap heights. Many forms lean toward squared counters and pinched joins, with occasional flared corners and asymmetries that make each glyph feel individually carved while still maintaining a consistent overall texture. The lowercase is compact and legible, and the numerals share the same angular, cut-paper geometry.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of text where its cutout texture and angular terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for distinctive branding, packaging, and cover design that benefits from a quirky, handcrafted sans voice.
The font reads as mischievous and handmade, with a retro display energy that feels closer to cutout lettering than industrial signage. Its angular terminals and lively irregularities give it a theatrical, slightly spooky playfulness rather than a polished corporate tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive display sans with a hand-made, carved aesthetic—balancing straightforward construction with deliberate irregularities to create an expressive, attention-grabbing typographic color.
Spacing and letterfit appear intentionally idiosyncratic, with noticeable variations in sidebearings and internal counter shapes that add character in headlines but can create a bouncy color in longer passages. The squared bowls and pinched diagonals are especially prominent in letters like A, K, M, N, and W, reinforcing the carved, graphic personality.
