A heavy, block-based display face built from chunky rectangular silhouettes with aggressive internal cutouts. The counters and apertures are carved as sharp wedges and diagonal slashes, creating a fractured, stencil-like construction and a noisy internal rhythm. Corners are mostly hard and squared, with occasional tapered or notched terminals that make the outlines feel hand-cut. Spacing and sidebearings vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing an irregular, collage-like texture in words while keeping a consistent cap-height and strong vertical stance.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, album/cover art, game or arcade-style titles, and attention-grabbing event flyers. It can work well on packaging or branding where a rugged, experimental voice is desired, particularly when used in short phrases, logos, or large headlines rather than long-form copy.
The overall tone is mischievous and disruptive, with a DIY, zine-era energy. Its sliced interiors and jagged geometry suggest glitch, hazard signage, or distressed industrial lettering, giving headlines a loud, slightly menacing edge. The face reads as intentionally imperfect and playful rather than refined or neutral.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch through solid, monolithic forms while injecting character via irregular diagonal incisions and unexpected counter shapes. It prioritizes attitude and texture over smooth readability, offering a distinctive, one-off display voice that feels cut, chipped, and assembled.
The dense black mass and small, angular counters can close up at smaller sizes; it performs best when given room. Diagonal cuts and notches become the main identifying feature in running text, so generous tracking and short line lengths help maintain character recognition.
