This typeface uses heavy, condensed block forms built from mostly straight strokes and sharp corners. Letter geometry is intentionally uneven, with slight tilts, notches, and trapezoidal counters that create a cut-paper or chiseled silhouette rather than a mechanically perfect build. Curves are minimized and when present they appear faceted, giving bowls and terminals a squared, carved look. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, producing a lively, jagged rhythm in text while maintaining consistent stroke thickness and overall color.
Best suited for short display settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and bold signage where its jagged rhythm and sculpted shapes can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for playful branding or themed titles, but the aggressive texture may feel busy in long passages of small text.
The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a hand-cut, DIY energy that reads as both industrial and playful. Its angular, irregular construction suggests a retro display voice suited to loud, characterful messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using irregular, carved-looking geometry to add personality and motion to a heavy sans foundation. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and graphic texture over smooth, text-first regularity.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same blocky construction, with distinctive, stylized counters in letters like B, D, O, P, and R. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with strong, poster-friendly silhouettes and minimal interior detailing.
