A compact, angular sans with chunky, cut-paper silhouettes and deliberately irregular geometry. Strokes are largely monolinear, with frequent sharp corners, flattened terminals, and slightly wavering verticals that create a hand-made rhythm. Counters tend to be small and squarish, sometimes appearing as punched-in apertures, while curves are minimized in favor of faceted bends. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving text a lively, uneven texture even at consistent point sizes.
Best suited for display use where personality and impact matter more than long-form comfort—posters, event flyers, titles, album/cover art, packaging callouts, and game or entertainment UI headings. It also works well for short, punchy lines where its irregular rhythm can read as intentional texture.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a DIY, poster-like attitude. Its jagged facets and off-kilter balance suggest underground graphics, arcade-era display lettering, and playful horror or punk ephemera without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, hand-crafted sans voice with a cut-out, faceted construction—prioritizing character, immediacy, and visual punch over neutrality. Its consistent angular system suggests it was built to look graphic and distinctive across both uppercase and lowercase.
Uppercase forms read as compact blocks with distinctive notches and cut-ins, while lowercase keeps the same angular construction, resulting in a cohesive, all-caps-like texture in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same carved, squarish logic and remain visually consistent alongside letters.
