A heavy, angular display face built from sharp planar facets instead of smooth curves. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with corners cut into wedge-like angles that create a chiseled silhouette. Proportions vary noticeably from letter to letter, and many glyphs lean slightly or appear hand-cut, producing an uneven rhythm. Counters are small and often polygonal, and terminals tend to end in blunt, angled cuts that keep the texture dense at text sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and playful branding where texture and personality are more important than neutrality. It can also work for comic-style captions or event promotions, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing to keep dense shapes from clumping.
The overall tone feels playful and scrappy, like cut-paper lettering or a rough-carved stencil adapted into a bold headline style. Its jagged facets and inconsistent widths add energy and informality, giving it a comic, mischievous voice rather than a polished corporate one.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-cut, angular craft aesthetic into a bold, attention-grabbing display alphabet. By replacing curves with facets and embracing irregular widths, it aims to deliver a lively, punchy texture that reads as intentionally rough and characterful.
Spacing and shapes appear intentionally irregular, with exaggerated joins and occasional asymmetric construction (notably in diagonals and bowls) that enhances the handmade character. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with compact interior spaces and strong, chunky silhouettes.
