A heavy, blocky display face built from chunky silhouettes with jagged, crown-like top edges and irregular polygonal contours. Counters and interior details are created through carved knockouts and slit-like cutouts that vary from glyph to glyph, producing a hollowed, fragmented texture inside otherwise solid forms. Proportions are generally wide with a tall lowercase, while spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven, reinforcing a hand-cut, collage-like rhythm. Terminals are sharp and abrupt, and many joins appear faceted rather than smoothly drawn, giving the overall construction a rugged, sculpted look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, album/cover art, headlines, and attention-grabbing branding where the carved interior texture can be appreciated. It also works well for event flyers and merch-style graphics that benefit from a rough, cut-paper or stencil-meets-graffiti aesthetic.
The font projects a loud, confrontational energy with a mischievous, DIY attitude. Its spiky profiles and broken interiors suggest urgency and impact, leaning toward a gritty, underground tone while still reading as playful and exaggerated.
The design appears intended as an expressive display font that prioritizes attitude and texture over neutrality, using irregular cutouts and spiked silhouettes to create a distinctive, energetic voice. Its exaggerated forms and uneven rhythm suggest it was made to stand out in bold, graphic compositions rather than continuous reading.
The internal knockouts are visually dominant and can compete with the letterforms at smaller sizes, so the design reads best when given room. The distinctive top-edge silhouettes create a strong horizontal texture across lines, which becomes a primary identifying feature in paragraphs or multi-line settings.
