A bold, blocky display face with squared, mostly octagonal outer silhouettes and frequent chamfered corners. Stems are heavy and fairly even, while interior counters are angular and compact, giving letters a carved-out feel. Many glyphs include intentional nicks, notches, and rough step-like edges that break the outline and add a distressed, cut-paper texture. Proportions run wide with tall lowercase, and widths vary noticeably across characters, creating an uneven, animated rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are assets: posters, attention-grabbing headlines, logo marks, packaging accents, and entertainment or game UI. It can also work for short bursts of copy in themed layouts, where the distressed angularity reinforces a gritty or retro-styled direction.
The overall tone is playful but gritty—like vintage signage that’s been chipped, stamped, or roughly machined. Its irregular edge treatment reads as handmade or hacked together, pushing a mischievous, off-kilter personality rather than a polished geometric look.
The design appears intended to combine sturdy, slab-like letterforms with a deliberately imperfect, notched edge treatment, evoking carved or stamped lettering. Its wide, angular construction and consistent distressing suggest a decorative display font aimed at creating instant character and attitude in titles.
The face maintains consistent angular construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with distinctive octagonal rounds in forms like O/C/G and similarly shaped zero. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are strong and graphic, while the distress pattern is applied unevenly enough to feel intentional, adding character at larger sizes.
