A jagged, italic-leaning display face built from sharp, faceted strokes and irregular polygonal curves. Terminals often end in pointed wedges, and bowls read as chiseled octagons rather than smooth rounds, giving the alphabet a cut-paper or carved look. Stroke weight stays fairly even, while small variations in angle and contour create an intentionally uneven rhythm. Counters are open and sturdy, with compact joins and a generally upright structure that’s pushed forward by the slant.
Best suited to short runs of text where personality matters: posters, splashy headlines, packaging accents, event flyers, and playful or eerie title treatments. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a hand-cut, angular texture.
The overall tone is wry and offbeat—more playful than formal, with a slightly spooky, comic edge. Its angular “carved” texture suggests hand-made energy and lends itself to expressive, attention-seeking headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally irregular, chiseled-italic look that reads quickly at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive, carved silhouette. Its consistent faceting and wedge terminals prioritize character and novelty over neutrality.
The caps feel bold and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted logic with simpler, more compact forms. Numerals follow the same angular construction and look best when treated as display elements rather than dense text.
