A heavy, chunky display face built from angular, chiseled-looking forms with faceted corners and wedge-like cuts. Strokes are predominantly straight-sided and monolinear in feel, with subtle internal notches and irregular terminals that create a carved, hand-shaped silhouette. Counters are small and often tightly pinched, while joins and shoulders lean toward abrupt, geometric breaks rather than smooth curves. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, uneven rhythm that reads as intentionally rough and hand-formed.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and logo wordmarks where texture and attitude are desired. It can also work for themed packaging or editorial feature titles, but the tight counters and jagged detailing favor larger sizes over long reading text.
The overall tone is bold and boisterous, blending a medieval/blackletter flavor with a mischievous, DIY energy. Its jagged cuts and compact counters give it a slightly aggressive edge, while the bouncy irregularity keeps it playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to evoke a blackletter-inspired, carved aesthetic while staying contemporary and expressive. By combining heavy massing with hand-cut irregularities, it prioritizes personality and visual punch over refinement.
Capitals are especially massy and emblem-like, and the lowercase maintains a tall, prominent presence that keeps words visually dense. Numerals match the same carved, blocky construction, making the set feel consistent for headlines and short bursts of text.
