A heavy, blocky display sans built from faceted, planar strokes that replace curves with clipped corners and short diagonal cuts. Terminals are blunt and often asymmetrically beveled, creating a slightly uneven, hand-carved rhythm across the alphabet. Counters tend toward squared or octagonal shapes (notably in O, D, P, Q and the numerals), and the overall silhouette reads compact and chunky with minimal internal detail. Spacing and widths vary noticeably by glyph, reinforcing the lively, handmade texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold branding moments where a tough, faceted voice is desired. It can also work well for playful logos, packaging callouts, and game or entertainment interfaces where energetic, chunky letterforms help establish tone quickly.
The faceted construction and chunky proportions give the face a loud, assertive personality with a mischievous, comic edge. Its irregular cuts feel rough-hewn and energetic rather than polished, suggesting action, impact, and a bit of grit.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through solid weight and a chiseled, faceted geometry that reads as carved or cut from hard material. By introducing small irregularities and angled truncations, it aims to feel lively and expressive while remaining firmly sans and highly graphic.
Distinctive angular forms make round letters appear octagonal, and the straight-edged joins create strong, poster-like word shapes. The strong black mass and jagged edges can create dense texture in longer passages, while the quirky inconsistencies add character in short bursts.
