A compact, heavy display sans built from sharp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with clipped corners, wedge-like terminals, and occasional inward notches that create a cut-paper or chiseled silhouette. Proportions are condensed with a slightly uneven, handmade rhythm; counters tend to be tight and polygonal, and joins often form abrupt angles that emphasize the fractured geometry. The overall texture is dark and punchy, with lively irregularities that keep lines of text from feeling mechanically uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, album art, event flyers, branding marks, and packaging where the faceted texture can be read clearly. It also works well for punchy callouts or labels, especially at larger sizes where the angular counters and notches remain distinct.
The faceted construction gives the face an edgy, scrappy energy that reads as rebellious and streetwise, while the quirky, uneven cuts add a playful, DIY tone. It can suggest anything from handmade signage to punk or skate graphics—assertive and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-cut, faceted aesthetic into a cohesive display alphabet: bold, compact letterforms with sharp planes and deliberate irregularity to create a distinctive graphic voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular logic, helping mixed-case settings feel coherent. Numerals follow the same clipped, polygonal styling, supporting bold headline use where a consistent, carved look is desired.
