A compact, angular display face built from thick, blocky strokes with sharply cut corners and frequent bevel-like facets. Curves are largely avoided in favor of straight segments and clipped terminals, creating an irregular, chiseled silhouette across the alphabet. Counters are small and often squarish, with occasional notch details that add a hand-cut, almost stencil-like behavior. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, uneven rhythm that reads clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to short headlines, poster typography, and logo wordmarks where its faceted shapes can be appreciated. It can also work for game titles or UI labels in stylized interfaces, and for packaging or album art that benefits from a gritty, handmade display voice. For longer text, it’s likely most effective in brief bursts such as pull quotes or section headers.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a rough-hewn energy that feels deliberately imperfect and expressive. Its jagged geometry and inconsistent facets suggest a playful, slightly aggressive attitude—more punk zine than polished corporate.
This font appears designed to deliver an intentionally irregular, geometric display look—prioritizing character and impact over neutrality. The consistent use of clipped corners, notches, and tight interiors suggests an aim to evoke a carved or cut-paper aesthetic while staying readable at display sizes.
Numerals and capitals carry the strongest personality, with distinctive cut-ins and trapezoidal joins that make the set feel custom-drawn rather than systematized. The lowercase keeps the same angular language, and the tall, straight stems and clipped corners help maintain legibility despite the eccentric forms.
