A heavy, angular display sans built from sharp planar facets instead of curves. Strokes are chunky and uniform, with corners clipped into small diagonal cuts that create a chiseled, polygonal silhouette. Counters are compact and often squared-off, and the overall texture is dense with a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm across forms. Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged geometry, with sturdy verticals, short joins, and broad terminals that keep word shapes tight and impactful.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a bold, energetic voice is needed. It can work well for sports identities, event promos, stickers/merch, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, high-contrast silhouette against simple backgrounds. For longer passages, it will be most effective in short bursts such as pull quotes or titles.
The faceted construction gives the type a tough, punchy attitude that reads as athletic and street-level, with a hint of comic-book energy. Its blunt shapes and hard edges suggest speed, impact, and intensity while remaining approachable through the playful, uneven modulation of facets.
The font appears designed to translate a carved, faceted look into a compact, highly legible display style. By replacing curves with clipped planes and keeping stroke weight sturdy, it aims to deliver an assertive, attention-grabbing texture that remains readable at typical headline sizes.
The design favors strong silhouettes over fine detail, producing high-impact letterforms that hold together in short lines and large sizes. The jagged facet pattern is consistent across letters and figures, creating a cohesive ‘cut from the same material’ feel in both caps and numerals.
