This typeface is built from chunky, faceted strokes with frequent chamfers and wedge-like terminals that give each letter a cut-from-sheet, polygonal feel. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, and joins often form sharp internal angles rather than smooth curves, producing an overall geometric-but-handworked texture. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with some letters leaning wide and others compact, creating a lively, uneven rhythm in text. The lowercase follows the same angular construction, with simplified bowls and angular shoulders, keeping a consistent monolinear, cut-corner vocabulary across the set.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, poster titles, brand marks, and packaging callouts where its angular silhouettes can read as a deliberate stylistic choice. It can also work for signage and event graphics that benefit from a rugged, cut-corner look, while longer text will appear intentionally dense and textured.
The font projects a rugged, industrial attitude with a playful edge, like stencil-cut signage filtered through a retro arcade or DIY zine sensibility. Its hard angles and chunky silhouettes feel confident and attention-grabbing, while the irregular rhythm adds character and a slightly mischievous tone.
The design intent appears to be a distinctive sans display face that replaces conventional curves with chamfered geometry to create a tough, handmade-industrial voice. It prioritizes character and impact over neutrality, aiming for memorable letterforms that hold their own at larger sizes.
In paragraph settings the strong black shapes and tight interior geometry produce a dense, high-impact texture, especially where angular diagonals repeat (e.g., in V/W/X forms). The numerals maintain the same faceted construction, with distinctive, blocky silhouettes suited to display use.
