A faceted, angular sans with chiseled corners and polygonal substitutes for curves. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, but edges wobble slightly and terminals end in sharp, planar cuts, giving a hand-cut silhouette. Counters tend toward octagonal forms (notably in O/o and numerals), with compact apertures and a slightly uneven rhythm that reads intentionally rough. Proportions are fairly straightforward and upright, while letter widths vary enough to create a lively, irregular texture in words.
Best suited to display typography where texture and personality are desirable: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and editorial callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set large enough to preserve the angular details and keep counters open.
The overall tone is playful and scrappy, with a craft-like, cut-paper energy that feels expressive rather than polished. Its sharp facets add a punchy, graphic attitude that can read mischievous or edgy depending on context, while the irregularities keep it friendly and informal.
The font appears designed to translate a hand-cut, faceted construction into a cohesive sans alphabet—favoring sharp planes and expressive irregularity over smooth geometry. Its goal is likely to deliver an instantly distinctive voice for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
The design’s consistent faceting across capitals, lowercase, and numerals helps it stay cohesive in mixed settings, and the distinctive polygonal bowls make it immediately recognizable at display sizes. At smaller sizes, the tight apertures and jagged joins may reduce clarity, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect legibility.
