A geometric sans with a deliberately rough, hand-cut construction. Strokes are mostly monoline but vary subtly in thickness and edge crispness, creating a faceted, slightly jagged silhouette throughout. Counters tend to be polygonal (notably in O/Q/0/8/9), and straight segments often meet at sharp angles with small kinks, giving letters a cut-paper or chiseled look. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, and spacing feels lively due to uneven sidebearings and slightly inconsistent widths across glyphs.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and logo wordmarks. The jagged geometry and uneven rhythm can become distracting in long passages, but it works well for short bursts of text where a handmade, energetic voice is desired.
The overall tone is crafty and offbeat, like lettering made with a marker and then carved into a stencil. It reads playful and energetic, with a mild punk/DIY attitude that adds character and motion to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised, hand-cut lettering while retaining the basic structure of a sans alphabet. It prioritizes distinctive texture, angular character, and a lively rhythm over strict typographic regularity.
Uppercase forms are simplified and block-forward, while lowercase keeps the same angular logic, avoiding smooth bowls in favor of straight-sided curves. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with strong, poster-friendly silhouettes that remain recognizable despite the intentional irregularities.
