A sharply angular, faceted display face with wedge-ended strokes and frequent triangular counters. Letterforms are built from straight segments with abrupt direction changes, producing a jagged rhythm and a hand-cut silhouette. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with irregular stroke terminals, uneven join angles, and occasional diamond-shaped interior spaces that read clearly at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with simplified, geometric constructions and pointed corners.
Best suited to short headlines, title treatments, and logo-style words where the angular texture can be a feature. It fits especially well in playful genre contexts—arcade or fantasy-adjacent graphics, event promotion, packaging accents, and punchy social posts—where legibility at small sizes is less critical than personality.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly aggressive, combining a playful comic energy with a pseudo-runic, carved-sign look. Its unevenness and sharp edges give it an eccentric, one-off personality that feels intentionally odd and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or carved lettering through exaggerated angles, pointed terminals, and inconsistent widths, creating a distinctive display texture. It prioritizes novelty and character over typographic neutrality, aiming for memorable, stylized word shapes.
Texture is bold and high-impact, but the spiky details and variable widths can create busy word shapes in longer passages. The uppercase set reads more emblematic and geometric, while the lowercase feels more handwritten and irregular, emphasizing the font’s expressive, improvised character.
