A heavy, chunky sans with faceted, chiseled silhouettes and slightly irregular geometry. Strokes are broadly uniform and thick, with sharp corners and clipped terminals that create a cut-paper or carved-block effect. The outlines show subtle wobble and asymmetry that keeps rhythm lively rather than mechanically even, especially in diagonals and bowls. Counters are small and sometimes squared-off, and the overall fit feels compact, producing dense, high-impact words in display sizes.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, event promotions, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its mass and angular character can be appreciated. It works especially well when you want a bold, handmade feel; for long passages or small sizes, the tight counters and busy silhouettes may reduce clarity.
The tone is bold and mischievous, evoking handmade signage, comic display titling, and retro poster lettering. Its angular cuts and uneven swagger give it a rowdy, energetic personality that reads more expressive than refined.
The design appears intended as an expressive display sans that borrows from carved or cut lettering traditions, emphasizing weight, punch, and a distinctive faceted texture over strict geometric regularity.
Uppercase forms lean toward tall, blocky structures, while lowercase mixes compact bowls with distinctive angular joins, reinforcing a deliberately non-neutral voice. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with sturdy shapes and tight apertures that prioritize impact over delicate detail.
