A sharply angular, faceted display face with heavy strokes and conspicuous wedge-like cuts that create a chiseled, stencil-adjacent look. Forms are built from straight segments and abrupt corners, with small notches and beveled terminals that produce a jittery rhythm across words. Uppercase letters read tall and assertive, while lowercase introduces narrower, more irregular shapes and occasional asymmetries that heighten the handmade, one-off feel. Numerals follow the same carved geometry, with tight internal counters and dramatic diagonals that keep the texture dense and punchy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, title cards, packaging callouts, and logo-like wordmarks. It can also work for entertainment and gaming graphics where an edgy, comic energy is desirable, but it’s most effective when used sparingly at larger sizes.
The tone is loud and playful with a slightly unruly edge—like a retro poster headline that’s been hacked from hard-edged pieces. Its aggressive angles and quirky cuts give it a mischievous, action-oriented voice that feels more like a graphic prop than a quiet text face.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual punch through hard geometry and quirky cuts, prioritizing character and motion over neutrality. It aims to evoke a crafted, cut-and-assembled aesthetic while staying bold and legible in display contexts.
The design’s consistency comes from its repeated bevels, notches, and straight-sided construction, but individual letters vary enough to feel intentionally idiosyncratic. Tight apertures and dense black areas can make long passages feel busy, especially where the notches cluster in adjacent characters.
