A heavy, display-oriented sans with blocky silhouettes and pronounced stroke modulation that creates a cut, faceted look. Many terminals and corners are treated with sharp chamfers and wedge-like notches, giving the outlines a carved, slightly irregular texture while remaining consistently constructed. Counters tend to be compact and geometric, and the overall rhythm feels sturdy and compact in text, with deliberate, graphic shaping rather than smooth continuous curves.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short-form copy where its strong silhouettes and carved details can read clearly. It can also work well for logos, product packaging, and entertainment-oriented branding that benefits from an assertive, retro-leaning display voice.
The font reads as bold and mischievous, with a handcrafted, cut-from-paper or carved-wood character. Its angular notches and emphatic shapes evoke a retro poster sensibility and a slightly rowdy, attention-grabbing tone that feels more expressive than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, graphic sans with a distinctive notched construction—prioritizing personality and impact over neutrality. Its consistent faceting suggests a deliberate attempt to mimic cut or chiseled forms while keeping familiar sans letter structures for legibility at display sizes.
In running text, the dense black mass and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the chiseled details and inner shapes stay clear. The numerals and lowercase carry the same notched construction, reinforcing a cohesive, display-first personality.
