A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans built from sharp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are robust and mostly monolinear, with frequent angled cuts, clipped corners, and occasional tapered, wedge-like terminals that create a hand-cut, chiseled impression. Counters tend to be squared or polygonal, and the overall texture is intentionally uneven: widths and interior shapes vary slightly from letter to letter, giving the line a lively, irregular rhythm. Numerals and lowercase follow the same faceted construction, keeping the silhouette bold and graphic at text and display sizes.
Best suited for posters, headlines, logos, and short emphatic copy where its faceted silhouettes can do the heavy lifting. It can also work well on packaging, stickers, and album or event graphics that benefit from a rugged, cut-letter look. For longer passages, it’s likely most effective when used sparingly as a display accent rather than as a primary text face.
The tone feels tough and energetic, mixing industrial bluntness with a slightly mischievous, comic edge. Its jagged geometry reads as handcrafted and attention-grabbing, suggesting urgency, impact, and a retro arcade/DIY poster attitude rather than refined neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate a carved or cut-from-sheet-material aesthetic into a bold sans, emphasizing sharp facets, strong silhouettes, and deliberate irregularity to create a distinctive display voice.
Uppercase forms appear especially stable and blocklike, while several lowercase shapes introduce more quirky asymmetry and distinctive silhouettes, increasing character in running text. The faceting produces strong black shapes and crisp negative space, which helps words hold together visually in short bursts and headline settings.
