A heavy, geometric sans with strongly faceted curves and sharp, chisel-like terminals. Many bowls and round forms are constructed from angled segments, creating a cut-out feel and frequent triangular notches in counters and joins. Strokes are generally monolinear in impression, with crisp edges, tight apertures, and compact interior spaces that emphasize the black shape. The overall rhythm is blocky and assertive, with consistent, graphic construction across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display settings where the faceted shapes can read clearly—headlines, posters, event titles, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a distinctive, graphic tone is desired, but its tight counters and notched details favor larger sizes over extended body text.
The font conveys a retro display energy with a playful, slightly mischievous edge. Its carved, angular rounding feels theatrical and game-like, giving headlines a distinctive, attention-grabbing voice without reading as formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a simple sans skeleton with carved, polygonal detailing that adds personality and visual texture. Its consistent angled cuts and notched counters suggest a deliberate focus on bold, memorable word-shapes for attention-driven typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related construction, with lowercase forms appearing sturdy and simplified rather than calligraphic. Numerals match the same faceted logic, and the angular counters and clipped terminals become a defining texture in words and lines of text, especially at larger sizes.
