A heavy, chunky sans with angular, faceted construction that replaces curves with planar cuts and notches. Strokes are thick and compact, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal shears that create a carved, chiseled silhouette. Counters tend to be small and geometric, and many glyphs show deliberate bite-outs or stepped joints that add texture without breaking the overall mass. The rhythm is assertive and unevenly “hand-cut” in feel, with slightly varied widths and a squat, compact footprint that stays highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display contexts such as posters, big headlines, title cards, event graphics, and bold logo wordmarks where its mass and faceted detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for playful packaging and merchandise typography, especially when strong contrast against a clean background is available.
The tone is bold and mischievous, blending a retro arcade/comic energy with a rugged, cut-from-paper solidity. Its sharp facets and chunky presence give it a playful aggressiveness that reads as action-forward and attention-seeking rather than refined or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a stylized, faceted “carved” aesthetic, offering a distinctive alternative to smooth geometric sans forms. Its notched, planar shapes suggest a goal of adding personality and motion while preserving strong readability in short-to-medium display text.
The faceting is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, sculpted look. Diagonal cuts and notches are used as recurring motifs on joins and terminals, which helps maintain character differentiation even with very heavy strokes. Numerals match the letterforms’ blocky geometry and carry the same carved, angled details.
