A heavy, geometric sans with subtly irregular, hand-cut construction. Strokes are thick and generally monolinear, with frequent angled terminals and faceted joins that create a chiseled silhouette. Bowls and counters tend toward polygonal rounds, and many curves break into straight-ish segments, giving letters a carved, blocky rhythm. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with small apertures in letters like C/S and compact interior spaces in round forms and numerals.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its chunky silhouettes and faceted details can read clearly—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and event or entertainment titling. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but the dense counters and quirky rhythm make it less ideal for extended body copy at small sizes.
The tone feels playful and slightly mischievous, like cut-paper lettering or a poster face shaped with a knife rather than drawn with a pen. Its chunky forms and quirky angles lean retro and informal, projecting energy and character more than precision or neutrality.
This design appears intended as a characterful display sans that blends geometric simplicity with a deliberately hand-hewn, angular finish. The goal is visual impact and personality—evoking carved or cut lettering—while staying structurally sans-serif and broadly legible.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent faceted logic, producing a lively, slightly uneven cadence in text lines. The numerals match the same angular rounding and stout proportions, helping the set read as a cohesive display system.
