A chunky, geometric sans with intentionally irregular contours and chiseled corners. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, but edges wobble and facets appear as if cut from paper or carved, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are small and sometimes angular, with simplified interior shapes (notably in O/0 and B) that read as punched-out apertures. The lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and short ascenders/descenders, and overall spacing feels tight and energetic, emphasizing silhouette over fine detail.
Best used at display sizes where its jagged geometry and compact counters can read clearly—posters, headlines, album or event graphics, playful packaging, and bold brand marks. In longer passages or small sizes, the dense interiors and irregular edges may reduce readability, so it works most effectively for short, high-impact text.
The font projects a playful, rebellious tone—part comic, part DIY. Its rough-cut construction and exaggerated blockiness give it a loud, handcrafted character that feels informal and slightly chaotic, suited to humorous or edgy messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut or carved lettering style in a bold sans framework, prioritizing graphic punch and personality over smooth precision. Its irregular facets and compact forms suggest a deliberate move away from clean modernism toward an expressive, DIY display voice.
Uppercase forms are especially sculpted, with distinctive wedge-like terminals and asymmetric joins that keep repeated letters from feeling mechanical. Numerals follow the same cut-and-faceted logic, with strong, simple shapes designed for impact rather than neutrality.
