A heavy, blocky sans with chiseled, faceted contours that replace smooth curves with angled cuts. Strokes are consistently thick and compact, with broad counters and simplified interior shapes that keep forms open at display sizes. Terminals often end in blunt wedges, giving letters a subtly uneven, hand-cut rhythm rather than geometric precision. Uppercase is sturdy and squat; lowercase is similarly robust with single-storey forms and emphatic dots, while figures match the same carved, chunky construction.
Well-suited for posters, splashy headlines, and logo-like wordmarks where its carved silhouettes can carry personality. It also works for packaging, merch, and event promotions that want a handmade, bold sans voice. For extended text, it’s most effective in short bursts—labels, callouts, and punchy subheads.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a rough-hewn energy that feels handmade and slightly rebellious. Its angular notches and uneven rhythm suggest craft, DIY signage, and playful toughness rather than polished modernity.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, hand-cut angular theme, prioritizing memorable shapes and strong silhouettes over neutral regularity. The construction suggests an aim to evoke DIY signage and retro display lettering while remaining clearly sans in structure.
The texture created by repeated angled cuts is a defining motif across letters and numerals, producing a distinctive silhouette in headlines. Because shapes lean on strong masses and simplified detail, it reads best when given room and benefits from generous tracking in longer lines.
