A heavy, slanted display face built from chunky, faceted forms with sharply cut corners and irregular, chiseled edges. Counters are largely collapsed, so letters read as solid silhouettes with occasional small notches and punched details rather than open bowls. Stroke endings tend to shear diagonally, producing a consistent forward motion, while letter widths vary noticeably, creating a rough, uneven rhythm across words. The overall drawing favors hard angles over curves, with an intentionally raw, cutout-like construction.
Best suited for short, bold applications where silhouette and energy matter: posters, punchy headlines, game titles, event graphics, and expressive branding marks. It performs most confidently at larger sizes where the angular detailing and irregular rhythm can be read as texture rather than noise.
The font conveys an assertive, high-impact tone—loud, gritty, and a bit mischievous. Its jagged geometry and compressed interior space evoke action, speed, and a confrontational attitude, leaning toward underground and high-energy cultural references rather than refinement.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact through solid, counter-collapsing shapes and aggressively angled cuts. By prioritizing silhouette, slant, and rough-edged geometry over conventional readability, it targets expressive display settings that benefit from a tough, kinetic presence.
In the sample text, dense black mass and tight internal space make word shapes dominant, while small cut-ins and corner breaks add texture at larger sizes. The slant and varying letter widths introduce a bouncy cadence that feels intentionally irregular, which can reduce clarity in long passages but increases visual character in short phrases.
