A slanted, sans-derived design with irregular, faceted strokes that feel cut or chiseled rather than drawn with smooth curves. Terminals are sharply angled and corners are often slightly notched, giving bowls and diagonals a polygonal silhouette. Stroke thickness stays fairly consistent, but edges wobble subtly, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm. Counters are compact and shapes are slightly condensed in places, while spacing and character widths vary enough to keep the texture restless and handmade.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like posters, headings, packaging callouts, and branding moments that benefit from a handmade edge. It can work for punchy subheads or pull quotes, but the busy texture is more effective in display sizes than in extended body copy.
The font reads as playful and scrappy, with an energetic, improvised tone. Its angular, hand-cut look suggests DIY craft, indie zines, or skate/poster culture rather than corporate polish. The overall voice is bold and a bit mischievous, prioritizing personality over neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic, sans-like structure with a deliberately rough, carved finish, combining readability with a distinctive DIY personality. Its faceted geometry and uneven stroke behavior suggest a goal of looking human-made and energetic rather than mechanically perfect.
Uppercase forms stay broadly geometric while retaining roughened corners, and the numerals share the same faceted construction for a cohesive set. The italic slant is consistent across letters and figures, helping text flow despite the intentionally irregular outlines. At smaller sizes, the jagged terminals and tight counters may make long passages feel busy compared with cleaner sans italics.
