A very heavy, squarish sans with chiseled, wedge-like cuts and slightly leaning construction. Strokes show noticeable modulation and sharp, flattened terminals, with many letters built from chunky verticals and stepped joins rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, and several glyphs exhibit intentional irregularity in edge alignment, giving the rhythm a jittery, hand-cut feel. Uppercase forms are compact and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a small, tight core with simplified bowls and angular shoulders; figures match the same chunky, cutout geometry.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headline treatments, and branding marks where its cutout geometry and strong modulation can be appreciated. It can also work for music- and nightlife-adjacent graphics, packaging callouts, and display typography that benefits from a rough-edged, energetic voice.
The overall tone is brash and mischievous, with a DIY energy that reads more like stenciled signage or hand-cut poster lettering than neutral text typography. Its uneven, jagged detailing adds a sense of motion and attitude, making it feel bold, rebellious, and distinctly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a stylized, hand-cut angular language—combining a blocky sans framework with irregular, chiseled detailing to create a distinctive display face. Its construction prioritizes character and texture over neutrality, aiming for attention-grabbing titles and graphic-forward compositions.
Spacing and silhouettes create a bouncy line texture in sample text, where the strong verticals and narrow apertures produce dense word shapes. The design’s sharp notches and stepped contours become more prominent at larger sizes, where the cut angles read as deliberate stylistic features rather than texture.
