A heavy, blocky display face with irregular, carved-looking edges and a slightly blobby silhouette. Strokes are thick and compact with squarish counters that often appear partially closed, producing a solid, stamped texture. The rhythm is intentionally uneven: curves look slightly flattened, terminals are rough and chipped, and joins feel hand-shaped rather than mechanically consistent. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, reinforcing an improvised, cut-out appearance.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headline treatments, album or zine covers, stickers, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for playful branding moments where texture and attitude matter more than extended readability.
The tone is loud and mischievous, with a gritty, DIY energy. Its roughened outlines and collapsed openings read as intentionally imperfect, evoking handmade signage and punchy, comic-like emphasis rather than refinement or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a maximal, attention-grabbing voice with a deliberately distressed, hand-cut feel. By compressing interior spaces and roughening contours, it prioritizes punch, texture, and character for display typography.
In longer text, the dense color and tight apertures create a strong black mass, so the design reads best when given breathing room. The numerals share the same rugged, cut-edge treatment, keeping the set visually consistent for headlines and short bursts of copy.
