A faceted, monolinear sans with polygonal construction that replaces curves with short straight segments, creating slightly jagged bowls and rounded forms. Strokes stay low-contrast and consistently thin, while terminals often end in crisp angles rather than smooth cuts. Proportions skew a bit tall with a compact overall footprint, and the texture is intentionally uneven: some glyphs show subtly different facet sizes and occasional asymmetry, lending a hand-drawn, cut-paper feel. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with simplified, geometric silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, cover titles, and branding moments where a quirky, angular voice is desirable. It can also work for short bursts of copy in packaging or editorial callouts, but the faceted contours and uneven rhythm are most effective when given enough size and spacing to breathe.
The overall tone feels quirky and handmade, like lettering carved from thin strips or sketched with a steady but unpolished hand. Its sharp facets add a mild edge, while the irregular rhythm keeps it approachable and playful rather than severe.
The design appears intended to bring a distinctive, handcrafted angularity to a clean sans framework—capturing the energy of informal lettering while maintaining a coherent geometric system. The faceted curves suggest a deliberate stylistic constraint meant to stand out in display settings.
The mix of angular joins and lightly inconsistent contours creates distinctive word shapes, especially in rounded letters (C, G, O, Q) where the faceting is most apparent. The design reads clearly at display sizes, where the planar breaks and quirky details become part of the character.
