This typeface uses compact, tall letterforms with chunky strokes and a distinctly faceted, cut-paper silhouette. Curves are interpreted as segmented arcs and flattened corners, producing an angular, slightly uneven contour throughout. Terminals are generally blunt, counters are small to medium, and spacing feels tight but readable, giving lines a dense rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase keeps the same carved quality, with simplified bowls and occasional asymmetry that reinforces the hand-made look.
Best suited to display applications where texture and personality are desirable—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and event promotions. It can also work well in playful interface elements (such as game UI) or short bursts of text where the dense rhythm reads as an intentional graphic pattern.
The overall tone is lively and slightly mischievous, with a handcrafted, improvised energy. Its jagged geometry suggests a DIY or cutout aesthetic rather than a polished corporate voice, lending it a friendly, characterful presence.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, high-impact sans with a deliberately rough, faceted outline—evoking hand-cut signage or carved shapes while staying legible in bold display sizes. Its consistent angular language across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests a focus on a cohesive, character-driven voice for attention-grabbing typography.
The numerals follow the same faceted construction, with angular turns and simplified interior shapes that keep them visually consistent with the letters. In text settings, the strong silhouette and tight rhythm create a bold texture, while the irregular edges add a subtle wobble that reads as intentional personality rather than distortion.
