A heavy, blocky sans with sharply carved, irregular contours that feel cut from paper or chipped from a solid slab. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, but edges taper, kink, and notch in unpredictable places, creating a restless rhythm across words. Counters are small and often triangular or slashed, with frequent internal “gouge” shapes that add bite and texture. Overall proportions stay compact with a steady x-height, while letter widths vary noticeably, enhancing the handmade, cutout impression.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, event flyers, and bold editorial headlines where its cutout texture can be appreciated. It also fits album artwork, game titles, and packaging accents that benefit from a gritty, handmade voice. Use it sparingly for short bursts of text rather than long reading passages.
The font projects a mischievous, confrontational energy—more punk zine than corporate signage. Its jagged cuts and chunky silhouettes read as playful but slightly menacing, giving headlines a loud, DIY attitude. The texture created by the internal slashes adds motion and grit, suggesting action, noise, and irreverence.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through solid silhouettes, while adding personality via deliberate cuts, notches, and irregular geometry. The goal is a distinctive, handmade display sans that feels rough-hewn and energetic without relying on serifs or ornament.
In the sample text, the strong black mass and tight interior spaces make it most effective at larger sizes, where the distinctive notches and cut-ins are clearly legible. At smaller sizes, the small counters and aggressive cut details may visually fill in, so generous tracking and clean backgrounds help preserve clarity.
