A heavy, block-built sans with sharply faceted contours that replace curves with short planar cuts. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with squarish counters and notched joins that create a subtly uneven, hand-hewn rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and geometric with clipped corners, while the lowercase keeps similarly chunky structures and sturdy stems, producing a dense, poster-friendly texture. Numerals follow the same carved, polygonal logic, staying bold and highly legible at display sizes.
This font works best for short, bold copy where its faceted silhouettes can be appreciated: posters, splashy headlines, display titles, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also add character to event graphics and playful branding, especially where a carved or cutout aesthetic fits the theme.
The faceted construction reads like cut paper, carved wood, or stamped lettering, giving the face a crafty, mischievous energy. Its irregular planes add personality without becoming chaotic, suggesting a friendly, game-like tone with a hint of retro signage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive faceted signature, turning simple sans structures into chiseled, angular forms for expressive display typography. Its consistent planar cuts suggest a deliberate “carved” look meant to feel handmade while staying broadly readable.
The consistent corner-clipping and angular counters create strong silhouette recognition, especially in rounded letters like O, Q, C, and G where the polygonal approach is most apparent. The overall color on the page is dark and uniform, making it better suited to headlines than long passages.
