A heavy, geometric display sans built from planar, faceted strokes that turn curves into crisp chamfers and clipped corners. Counters are compact and often teardrop or oval, with occasional notches and bite-like cut-ins that create a distinctive internal rhythm. The forms feel modular and block-carved, with flat terminals, simplified joins, and intentionally irregular detailing across letters that keeps the texture lively. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, producing strong, high-impact silhouettes that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited for display work where strong silhouettes and graphic texture are desirable—posters, headlines, packaging, title cards, and short-form branding. It can also work for playful signage or merch graphics, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is bold and exuberant, blending a retro sign-painter energy with a toy-like, cut-paper quirkiness. The faceting and notches add a mischievous, decorative edge that feels attention-seeking and expressive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, decorative sans with a faceted, carved look—prioritizing personality and visual punch through chamfered geometry and distinctive counters while maintaining a broadly sans structure.
The font’s personality comes from the consistent use of chamfers and internal cutouts, which create recognizable shapes even in short words. The dense black mass and small counters can reduce clarity at small sizes, but the distinctive silhouettes hold up well in headlines.
