A heavy, blocky sans with faceted, chiseled contours and subtly irregular stroke edges. Curves are often resolved into angled segments, giving bowls and rounds an octagonal feel, while terminals look abruptly cut rather than smoothly finished. Proportions are compact and sturdy with broad counters for the weight, and the rhythm shows slight per-glyph width variation that adds a handmade, non-mechanical texture. Numerals and punctuation follow the same rugged, cut-paper silhouette, keeping a consistent, bold presence in text.
Best suited for display applications where character is the priority: posters, headlines, packaging, product labels, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short bursts of text on merch, social graphics, and event materials, where its rugged silhouette remains legible and adds personality.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a rough-hewn personality that reads more like crafted signage than polished corporate typography. Its angular carving-like shapes evoke a retro, comic, or DIY poster sensibility, lending energy and character even in short phrases.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut, carved, or stamped look within a bold sans framework, emphasizing strong silhouettes, angular rounding, and an intentionally irregular finish. It prioritizes impact and distinctive texture over neutrality, making it ideal for expressive branding and attention-grabbing display typography.
The all-caps set feels particularly punchy due to squared shoulders and flattened curves, while lowercase forms keep the same faceted logic and maintain clear differentiation at display sizes. The texture created by uneven cuts becomes more noticeable in longer lines, producing a lively, intentionally imperfect color on the page.
