A chunky, angular display sans built from sharp planar facets instead of smooth curves. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with frequent diagonal cuts and clipped terminals that create a jagged silhouette. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing an irregular rhythm and a hand-cut, wobbly baseline/sidebearing feel in text. Counters tend to be tight and polygonal (notably in O/Q/0/8), and joins are abrupt, emphasizing a carved, geometric construction over calligraphic flow.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and event or entertainment graphics where its jagged geometry can read as a stylistic feature. It can also work for game/UI labels or branding accents, especially when set large; for longer copy, extra spacing helps preserve clarity.
The overall tone is energetic and mischievous, with a rough-hewn, cut-paper attitude that feels informal and attention-grabbing. Its spiky facets and uneven rhythm read as playful rather than technical, lending a comic, slightly chaotic voice.
The design appears intended to translate a hand-cut, chiseled look into a bold display alphabet, using consistent faceting to suggest carved or fractured forms while keeping a simple sans structure. Its variability and rough edges prioritize character and motion over strict regularity.
The face maintains a consistent faceted language across caps, lowercase, and numerals, but embraces deliberate irregularity in widths and angles, which becomes more pronounced in longer passages. The heavy weight and tight counters increase visual density, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when used in text blocks.
