A condensed, block-built sans with sharply angled corners and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with subtle wobble in verticals and horizontals that creates a roughened rhythm across words. Counters are mostly rectangular and tight, apertures are small, and joins often resolve into hard notches or stepped terminals rather than smooth curves. Overall spacing feels compact, with a jittery baseline and uneven sidebearings that add character while keeping the silhouette strongly vertical and modular.
Best suited for display settings where texture and attitude are an advantage: posters, packaging, event graphics, album artwork, game/UI titles, and bold branding marks. It works particularly well in short headlines and signage-style compositions where its condensed, blocky forms can create strong vertical impact without needing large widths.
The font reads as industrial and slightly chaotic—like stenciled lettering that’s been cut quickly or distressed by use. Its angular construction and compressed proportions give it a techno/arcade edge, while the irregularities add a mischievous, DIY energy. The tone is assertive and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a deliberately rough, cut-paper or stencil-like feel. By combining rigid rectangular counters with slightly skewed outlines and stepped terminals, it aims to feel mechanical and handmade at the same time—optimized for memorable, graphic typography rather than neutral text setting.
Distinctive, square counters and abrupt terminal cuts make letterforms highly graphic at display sizes, though the tight interior space can close up as sizes get smaller. Numerals and caps share the same rigid, rectilinear logic, helping headings and short bursts of text maintain a consistent, punchy texture.
