A heavy, block-built sans with planar facets and clipped corners that substitute for fully rounded curves. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, with sharp joints, notched terminals, and occasional wedge-like cut-ins that create a chiseled, hand-cut rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and geometric, and the overall texture is dense with a slightly irregular, lively edge. Widths vary noticeably across the set, giving the face a punchy, poster-like color rather than a strictly uniform cadence.
Best suited for display contexts such as posters, headlines, packaging, logos, and punchy signage where its faceted silhouettes can read cleanly and contribute character. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, labels) when a dense, graphic texture is desired rather than quiet readability.
The faceted construction and blunt weight convey a rugged, utilitarian attitude with a playful edge. It reads as bold and attention-seeking, evoking cut metal, linocut printing, or carved signage—more expressive than neutral.
Designed to deliver a bold, graphic voice by translating a sans structure into chiseled, planar forms. The consistent chamfering and notched terminals suggest an intent to mimic carved or cut construction while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly legible at larger sizes.
Distinctive notches and chamfers show up across many glyphs, creating consistent “carved” highlights that help differentiate shapes at display sizes. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same angular logic, supporting cohesive titling and short-text use where texture is part of the appeal.
