A heavy, blocky sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces smooth curves with planar, angled cuts. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with slightly uneven edges and subtly varied widths that create an organic, hand-cut rhythm rather than strict geometric regularity. Counters are compact and squarish, apertures tend to be tight, and terminals often end in blunt, angled faces. Overall spacing reads sturdy and compact, optimized for impact at display sizes rather than delicate detail.
Best suited to display applications where strong silhouette and texture matter: posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short brand phrases or logotypes where an intentionally rugged, faceted voice is desired, but it is less ideal for long-running text due to its dense counters and emphatic texture.
The font conveys a bold, mischievous energy—part poster lettering, part cut-paper or stamped mark. Its angular facets and irregularities give it a lively, slightly roughened personality that feels informal and attention-grabbing, with a retro sign/print flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact sans with a distinctive faceted ‘cut’ aesthetic—evoking carved, stamped, or hand-shaped letterforms while maintaining clear, straightforward construction for readable display typography.
The faceting is consistent across rounds and diagonals, producing a coherent ‘carved’ texture in words. Mixed-case and figures share the same chunky color, and the tighter interior space helps the type hold together as a dense, graphic block in headlines.
