A heavy, angular sans with compact, block-built forms and sharply cut corners. Strokes are largely monolinear, but edges frequently show wedge-like nicks and notches that create a chiseled, almost cut-paper silhouette. Counters tend to be small and geometric, and many joins terminate in abrupt, squared ends rather than smooth curves. Overall spacing feels tight and the rhythm is energetic, with subtle irregularities in width and interior cutouts giving the alphabet a constructed, modular feel.
Best suited to short display text where its strong silhouettes and notched construction can read clearly—posters, headlines, branding marks, and game or entertainment UI. It can also work for packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, high-impact voice; it is less suited to long-form reading where the busy edges and tight counters may fatigue the eye.
The tone is bold and assertive with a playful, slightly mischievous edge. Its jagged cut-ins and hard geometry evoke retro arcade graphics, DIY signage, and industrial markings, reading as loud, gritty, and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive “cut” texture, combining a straightforward sans framework with deliberate nicks and angular truncations. Its constructed geometry suggests an aim toward bold, thematic display typography that feels both industrial and playful.
The design relies on distinctive internal cutouts (notably in letters like A, B, D, O, P, Q) and occasional asymmetries that add character at display sizes. Diagonals and terminals often appear sliced at oblique angles, producing a dynamic, “shattered” texture across words. The figure set matches the same blocky construction, favoring strong silhouettes over delicate detail.
