A heavy, sharply angular display face with a consistent left-leaning slant and chiseled, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are mostly monolinear with abrupt notches, clipped corners, and irregular joins that create a cut-paper/woodblock feel. Counters are tight and squarish, curves are minimized, and many letters use faceted diagonals instead of smooth bowls. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly uneven, with varied interior shapes and distinctive, spiky silhouettes across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of text where its quirky, cutout texture can lead. It works well for entertainment and event collateral, album/merch graphics, game or comic titling, and brands that want a rebellious, handcrafted edge rather than a polished corporate voice.
The font projects a mischievous, off-kilter attitude—playful but aggressive—evoking DIY signage, vintage circus or fair posters, and punk/garage ephemera. Its tilted, carved shapes read as loud and attention-seeking, with a deliberate sense of roughness and motion.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, decorative impact through exaggerated slant, angular construction, and intentionally rough, carved-looking terminals. Its consistent geometry and matching numerals suggest it was drawn to function as a cohesive display system for energetic titling and graphic statements.
The sample text shows strong impact at display sizes, where the carved details and angular apertures become part of the personality. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and jagged terminals can create dense texture, so spacing and line length will matter for readability. Numerals match the same faceted construction, supporting cohesive headline use.
