A heavy, polygonal display face built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with curves consistently replaced by planar facets and chamfered joins. Counters tend to be angular and compact, and many glyphs show slightly off-kilter geometry that creates a lively, uneven rhythm across words. Stroke endings are blunt and squared, with minimal modulation, giving the alphabet a sturdy, cut-out silhouette and strong figure/ground presence at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its sharp facets and dense silhouettes can read clearly—headlines, posters, packaging accents, game interfaces, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels, but the irregular rhythm suggests avoiding long-form text at small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and unconventional, mixing a hard-edged, techno feel with a playful, hand-cut wobble. It reads as bold and attention-seeking rather than formal, with a mischievous, game-like character that adds personality to short messages.
Likely designed to translate a carved, planar aesthetic into a friendly sans framework—prioritizing punch, distinct letter shapes, and a recognizable angular texture over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms are strongly geometric and monolinear in impression, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted logic but feels more compact and bouncy in texture. Numerals follow the same angular construction, contributing to a cohesive, poster-like system.
