A chunky, geometric sans with faceted strokes and slightly irregular, hand-cut contours. Terminals are mostly squared-off but often notch inward, creating small triangular bites and ink-trap-like corners that give the outlines a carved, stencil-adjacent feel without true stencil breaks. Counters tend toward rectangular or squarish shapes, and many bowls and shoulders are built from straight segments with minimal curvature. Proportions vary noticeably across letters, producing a lively rhythm and a somewhat uneven texture in text, while keeping a consistent heavy stroke presence.
Best suited for display contexts such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and attention-grabbing UI labels where the angular texture can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text, but the jagged joins and variable letter shapes may feel busy at smaller sizes or in long paragraphs.
The overall tone reads energetic and offbeat, blending a retro display attitude with a rugged, industrial edge. The nicks, notches, and faceted joins add a mischievous, slightly mischievous “cut-from-paper” character that feels more expressive than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, high-impact sans voice through chiseled geometry and deliberate irregularities, prioritizing personality and a crafted feel over strict typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms lean broad and blocklike (notably in C, E, G), while several diagonals and joins (V, W, K, R) emphasize sharp angles and abrupt direction changes. Numerals are similarly angular and compact, with simplified geometry and sturdy silhouettes that favor impact over refinement.
