A heavy, compact sans with a distinctly angular, cut-paper silhouette. Strokes are built from straight segments with frequent beveled corners and small nicks, creating a faceted, chiseled look rather than smooth curves. Counters are tight and often polygonal, and many terminals end in sharp wedges or clipped flats. Spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven across glyphs, giving the line a lively, irregular rhythm while maintaining a consistent, solid color on the page.
Best suited for attention-grabbing display settings such as posters, headlines, album/cover art, packaging, and event flyers where its jagged geometry can be a defining visual feature. It can work in short phrases or punchy copy at larger sizes, especially when a handmade, rough-cut texture is desired.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a rough-hewn energy that reads as handmade and slightly rebellious. Its jagged edges and chunky forms suggest DIY signage, zines, and playful display typography rather than refined corporate minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, angular construction—prioritizing personality and texture over neutrality. Its faceted terminals and uneven rhythm suggest a deliberate attempt to evoke cut-out lettering or carved shapes in a bold, contemporary display voice.
The uppercase carries a poster-like presence with compact shapes and assertive angles, while the lowercase stays sturdy and simple, keeping texture consistent in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the same faceted geometry, reinforcing the cut, blocky voice across text and figures.
