A heavy, angular display face built from broad strokes with aggressively chamfered corners and frequent notches and cut-ins. Letterforms lean on octagonal geometry—flat terminals, clipped curves, and abrupt inside counters—creating a faceted, machined silhouette rather than smooth round shapes. Spacing and widths vary by character, and several glyphs feature distinctive pointed terminals or internal bite-like apertures that heighten the irregular rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest geometric weight, while the lowercase echoes the same blocky construction with simplified bowls and sharp joins.
Ideal for short, high-impact text such as posters, game and stream graphics, album or mixtape covers, and logo-like wordmarks. It suits branding that wants a crafted, aggressive, or retro-digital flavor, and works well in display settings where the angular detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is loud and playful with an edge, mixing arcade-era chunkiness with a blackletter-meets-industrial sharpness. Its spiky details and exaggerated silhouettes feel theatrical and slightly menacing, giving headlines a game, fantasy, or underground-poster energy.
The font appears designed to prioritize personality and silhouette over neutrality, using consistent corner clipping and decorative notches to create a one-off, emblematic texture. Its construction suggests an intentional blend of hard-edged geometry and quirky, attention-grabbing irregularities for bold display typography.
The design reads best at larger sizes where the small interior cutouts and sharp corners stay clear; in tighter settings those notches can visually merge. The most characteristic look comes from the clipped outer corners and the recurring wedge-shaped incisions that unify the alphabet.
