A chunky, black display face built from irregular, wedge-like strokes and sharp terminals. The letterforms feel hand-drawn but intentionally stylized, with a slightly chiseled silhouette, uneven stroke edges, and frequent triangular counters and cut-ins. Curves are simplified into faceted arcs, corners are emphasized, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share the same geometric, cut-paper/knife-carved logic, with compact counters and strong, graphic mass.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like posters, headlines, packaging callouts, event promos, album/mixtape covers, and game or cartoon title cards. It also works well for logos or wordmarks that want a handmade, offbeat edge, especially when set with generous tracking and plenty of whitespace around it.
The tone is energetic and quirky, with a prankish, cartoon-graffiti attitude. Its spiky contours and exaggerated shapes suggest motion and noise, making the font feel bold, unconventional, and a bit chaotic in a fun way. Overall it reads as decorative and characterful rather than refined or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality through irregular geometry and sharp, simplified forms—evoking a hand-cut, carved, or ink-brushed construction without aiming for typographic regularity. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and graphic punch to stand out in decorative display use.
In continuous text the dense black color and tight counters can make longer passages feel busy, but the distinctive silhouettes remain readable at display sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same irregular, carved aesthetic, reinforcing a cohesive one-off personality.
