This typeface is built from straight, faceted strokes that replace curves with sharp planes, producing a distinctly angular silhouette throughout. Strokes read as largely even in thickness with abrupt corners, wedge-like joins, and occasional tapered terminals that feel cut or notched rather than drawn with a smooth pen. Proportions are compact and slightly uneven in a deliberate way, with a jittery rhythm and small variations in stroke angles and widths from letter to letter. Counters are often polygonal, and round letters resolve into multi-sided forms, reinforcing a crystalline, carved look.
Best suited to display contexts such as posters, headlines, logos, and short emphatic phrases where the faceted details can be appreciated. It can also work well for themed interfaces or packaging that wants a rough-cut, energetic feel. For long passages at small sizes, the spiky texture and irregularity may become visually busy.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, with a DIY edge that can feel punk, indie, or game-like depending on context. Its sharp geometry and irregular cadence create an energetic, slightly chaotic voice that reads more expressive than neutral. The faceted construction suggests something cut from paper, stone, or metal—more attitude than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a sharp, faceted display voice that feels intentionally hand-made and cut from hard-edged geometry rather than constructed from classical curves. It prioritizes character, texture, and striking silhouettes to create immediate impact in titles and branding.
In text, the tight, angular forms create strong texture and high contrast between letter shapes, with particularly distinctive diagonals and pointed apexes. Numerals follow the same planar logic, keeping the set visually cohesive and poster-forward. The font’s personality comes through most clearly at larger sizes where the facets and notches remain legible.
