A faceted, monoline display face built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with curves largely replaced by polygonal turns. Many terminals end in small angled cuts, giving a slightly chiseled, notched finish. Proportions and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, and counters often take on hexagonal or irregular shapes, creating a jittery rhythm that reads intentionally uneven rather than mechanical. The lowercase is simplified and narrow in places, while several capitals (notably rounded forms) become geometric outlines with crisp, multi-angled bowls.
Best suited to display settings where its quirky, faceted construction can be seen clearly—posters, titles, signage, packaging, and game or event graphics. It can work for short bursts of copy in larger sizes, but the irregular rhythm and angular joins make it less comfortable for extended reading.
The overall tone is eccentric and playful, with a crafty, improvised feel—like lettering made from cut paper, sticks, or angular wire. Its sharp geometry and uneven rhythm create a whimsical, slightly mischievous voice that feels more illustrative than typographic.
The design appears aimed at creating a one-off, characterful voice through polygonal simplification and deliberate irregularity, turning familiar letterforms into angular, decorative silhouettes. It prioritizes novelty and visual personality over neutrality and continuous-text comfort.
Distinctive polygonal constructions show up strongly in O/0-like shapes and other rounded letters, and the numerals echo the same faceted logic for a cohesive set. The angular detailing adds character but also introduces busy silhouettes, especially in dense text or at small sizes.
