This typeface uses chunky, angular sans forms with a distinctly hand-cut, chiseled silhouette. Strokes are heavy and fairly consistent, but terminals and corners break into sharp wedges and faceted cuts, producing a slightly irregular outline from glyph to glyph. Counters tend to be small and geometric, and many characters show asymmetric shaping and uneven internal spacing that creates a lively, variable rhythm in running text. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with compact apertures and intentionally non-uniform curves that read more like carved or stamped letterforms than constructed geometry.
Best suited to display contexts such as posters, event titles, packaging, and logo/wordmark work where a distinctive, hand-made texture is an asset. It can also work for short emphatic phrases or pull quotes, especially when you want a rough, energetic voice rather than a neutral UI feel.
The tone is bold and mischievous, with a DIY, zine-like energy that feels playful rather than formal. Its jagged facets and irregular rhythm add a bit of grit and humor, making it feel expressive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display sans with a deliberately irregular, carved aesthetic—prioritizing personality, punch, and a handcrafted rhythm over strict geometric consistency.
In sample text, the strong black mass and tight counters create high impact at headline sizes, while the lively irregularities become more noticeable as text gets longer. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted language, reinforcing a cohesive, cut-paper or carved-sign look.
