A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and sharply angled joins. Strokes are uniform and dense, with frequent wedge-like cuts and irregular trapezoid shaping that makes counters and terminals feel intentionally carved rather than geometrically perfect. Corners are mostly hard, apertures are tight, and many glyphs show subtle asymmetry and slight tilt in verticals, creating a jittery rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals are compact and monolithic, while lowercase forms remain boxy and simplified with small, rectangular counters.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and logo wordmarks where its chunky silhouettes can carry the composition. It also works well for entertainment and gaming-adjacent graphics, title cards, and bold display text where a gritty, blocky voice is desired. For long passages, it’s more effective in brief callouts or large sizes to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a rough-cut, arcade-like energy. Its uneven geometry reads as handmade-meets-digital, lending a playful toughness that can feel both retro and contemporary. The texture it creates in blocks of text is loud and graphic rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, squared forms and deliberate irregularity, emphasizing character and texture over neutrality. Its carved angles and boxy counters suggest a display face meant to feel rugged, graphic, and slightly mischievous while remaining firmly sans in construction.
Spacing appears visually sturdy, with dark letterforms that dominate the line and create strong silhouette recognition. The design leans on straight segments and diagonals, avoiding curves where possible, which reinforces a mechanical, stencil-adjacent impression even though shapes remain fully solid.
