This typeface uses heavy, rounded core shapes interrupted by crisp, angled cuts and wedge-like terminals, creating a distinctive chiseled silhouette. Curves are generally broad and geometric, while joins and stroke endings often resolve into sharp facets rather than smooth tapers. Counters tend to be generous and circular in letters like O and o, contrasted by tighter apertures in forms such as S and e, giving the rhythm a bouncy, sculpted feel. The overall construction reads as sans in structure, but with deliberate, decorative angularity that adds texture and visual bite in headlines.
Best suited for display sizes where its angular cuts and bold shapes can be appreciated—such as headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a lively, attention-grabbing voice is needed, but the pronounced detailing may feel busy in long text.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a showy, slightly whimsical character that feels retro and display-oriented. Its mix of soft bowls and sharp notches suggests a hand-cut or poster style, lending energy and personality rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide an expressive, high-impact sans with a carved, faceted motif—combining geometric weight with decorative terminals to create a memorable, poster-ready look.
Distinctive diamond-shaped dots on i and j and the frequent diagonal carving at stroke ends reinforce the faceted theme across the set. Numerals are sturdy and highly graphic, matching the letterforms’ chunky presence and making figures stand out strongly in short strings.
