A heavy, forward-slanted display face built from sharp, angular strokes and aggressively notched terminals. Letterforms carry a fractured, chiseled silhouette with irregular spur-like protrusions that create a lively, uneven edge while keeping a consistent overall construction. Counters are compact and often polygonal, and the numerals echo the same serrated, cut-metal rhythm for a cohesive set. In text, the strong diagonals and frequent spikes produce a dense texture with noticeable visual noise, favoring impact over refinement.
Works best for short, high-impact typography such as posters, branding accents, album/playlist covers, game or comic-style titles, and energetic event flyers. It can also serve as a punchy secondary display face paired with a calmer text companion to balance its busy texture.
The font projects a loud, mischievous energy—part edgy and part playful—like a distressed headline style meant to feel unruly and handcrafted. Its spiky contours and slanted stance give it motion and attitude, leaning toward a rebellious, street-poster sensibility with a faint blackletter flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate visual punch through exaggerated angularity, serrated terminals, and an intentionally irregular outline. It prioritizes attitude, motion, and a distressed, cut-out feel to make simple words look louder and more animated.
Spacing and silhouette irregularities are a key part of the design language: the letters appear intentionally nicked and torn along edges, which increases character but can reduce clarity in longer passages. The sample text shows best results when set large with generous line spacing to keep the jagged forms from visually colliding.
