A compact, block-built display face with tight proportions and heavy, monoline strokes. Letterforms are constructed from sharp, angular segments with frequent diagonal cuts and irregular notches, creating a slightly uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Corners tend to be hard and faceted, counters are small and often squarish, and curves (as in C, O, S) are interpreted as polygonal arcs rather than smooth rounds. The lowercase mirrors the same constructed logic, with simplified, geometric bowls and a narrow, upright stance; numerals follow suit with clipped terminals and compressed widths.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It can work in brief bursts of text when large enough, where the angular details and narrow footprint help create a dense, attention-grabbing texture.
The overall tone feels mischievous and handmade—like paper-cut signage or a stylized poster alphabet. Its quirky inconsistencies and faceted geometry give it an energetic, slightly chaotic personality that reads as fun and unconventional rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, one-off display voice through faceted, cut-in geometry and intentionally irregular details. It prioritizes character and silhouette over neutrality, aiming for immediate visual recognition and a lively, experimental feel.
The texture is highly graphic, with strong dark presence and distinctive silhouettes that stay legible at display sizes. The most recognizable traits are the slanted cuts on vertical stems and the polygonal treatment of normally round shapes, which adds a playful “constructed” feel in continuous text.
