A heavy, all-caps–leaning sans with sharply cut, rectilinear forms and frequent angled terminals. Strokes are predominantly monolinear but with subtle optical tapering created by chamfered corners and wedge-like joins, giving counters and notches a carved look. Glyphs read as tall and compact, with tight internal apertures in letters like A, P, R, and a squared, modular construction across the set. The overall rhythm is intentionally uneven: many letters show slight tilts, kinked verticals, and idiosyncratic widths that create a lively, hand-cut silhouette rather than strict geometric regularity.
Best suited to display settings where its carved angles and compact, high-impact texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logos, and short taglines. It can also work for packaging and merchandise graphics that benefit from a bold, unconventional voice. Use generous size and spacing when setting longer lines to preserve clarity.
The font conveys a bold, punchy attitude with a slightly mischievous, DIY energy. Its jagged cuts and irregular stance suggest handcrafted signage, underground flyers, and playful menace rather than corporate neutrality. The tone lands between retro display and industrial stencil, making text feel loud, urgent, and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, blocky letterforms and distinctive chiseled cuts, prioritizing personality and silhouette over neutral readability. Its irregularities look deliberate, aiming for a handmade, cut-paper or carved-sign feel that stands out immediately in branding and promotional typography.
Uppercase forms dominate the personality, while lowercase echoes the same blocky logic with simplified bowls and tight counters. Numerals are similarly squared and compact, designed to match the dense texture of the letters. At smaller sizes the narrow openings and sharp notches may visually fill in, while at larger sizes the cut details become a key feature.
