A chunky, angular display sans with a distinctly irregular, hand-cut construction. Strokes maintain a generally even thickness while outlines break into faceted planes and sharp corners, creating a chiseled silhouette rather than smooth curves. The proportions are lively and uneven across characters, with slightly inconsistent widths, varied interior counters, and a bouncy baseline feel in text. Terminals tend to end in abrupt wedges or blunt cuts, reinforcing a rough, cut-paper aesthetic with strong black shapes.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, packaging callouts, and album/merch graphics where its irregular texture can be a feature. It can also work for punchy subheads or captions, but its busy outlines are more effective at larger sizes than in dense body copy.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, with a DIY, zine-like attitude. Its jagged geometry and uneven rhythm read as informal and expressive, leaning toward a rebellious, street-poster voice rather than a polished corporate one.
The design appears intended to emulate cut-out lettering with bold, faceted strokes—prioritizing personality and immediacy over geometric precision. It aims to deliver a strong silhouette and an intentionally rough, handmade rhythm for expressive display typography.
In longer text the texture becomes intentionally noisy, as the faceted curves and idiosyncratic counters create a strong, patterned color. Numerals and capitals match the same angular logic, keeping a consistent, high-impact presence across the set.
