A condensed, forward-leaning display face with a sturdy, even stroke weight and emphatic square-ended slabs. Letterforms are built from angular segments with softened corners, producing a chiseled, almost stencil-like construction in rounds (C, G, O, Q) and sharp joints in diagonals and turns. Terminals are consistently flat and blocky, and several glyphs show small notches or inward cuts that read like inktraps or carved joins, helping the heavy shapes stay open. Counters are tight and geometric, while the overall rhythm is compact with tall ascenders/descenders and a slightly irregular, hand-tooled feel despite the consistent stroke width.
Best suited to posters, headlines, labels, and signage where its condensed footprint and rugged slabs can create strong impact. It also works well for brand marks and packaging seeking a retro-industrial voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the angular joins and cut details remain clear.
The font conveys a vintage-industrial tone—part workshop signage, part mid-century display—tempered by quirky, handmade quirks. Its forward slant and squared slabs add momentum and toughness, while the angular “cut” details keep it lively and slightly mischievous rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a bold, space-saving display face that blends slab-like solidity with a hand-crafted, carved aesthetic. Its consistent stroke weight and squared terminals prioritize punch and reproducible shapes, while the faceted geometry and notched joins inject distinctive personality for attention-grabbing typography.
The numerals and many uppercase forms favor polygonal geometry, giving curves a faceted appearance. Lowercase shows distinctive, idiosyncratic constructions (notably in a, g, y, and k), which can add character in headlines but makes the texture feel intentionally unconventional in longer text.
