A slanted, monolinear sans built from sharp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes have a cut-paper feel with abrupt angles, flattened arcs, and slightly irregular joins that keep the rhythm lively while maintaining consistent spacing. The letterforms are broad and sturdy with a large x-height, open counters, and simplified geometry that reads clearly at display sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same chiseled, polygonal construction, with diagonal terminals and occasional wedge-like cuts that reinforce the carved look.
Well suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, brand marks, and packaging where the faceted silhouettes can be appreciated. It can also work for comic-style captions, game/UI titles, or event graphics that benefit from an expressive, handmade angularity, while longer paragraphs may feel visually busy due to the constantly changing facets.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, combining a handmade, DIY attitude with a bold graphic presence. Its angular construction and forward slant suggest motion and informality, giving text a playful edge that feels comic, punk, or zine-adjacent rather than corporate.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-cut, angular drawing style into a cohesive alphabet with consistent spacing and a strong display voice. By replacing curves with deliberate facets and keeping strokes even, it aims to deliver a distinctive texture and personality while preserving straightforward readability.
The faceting is consistently applied across rounds and diagonals, creating a cohesive “shattered curve” texture in words. The heavy use of straight segments makes even traditionally curved letters feel crisp and crystalline, producing strong silhouettes and a distinctive texture in longer lines.
