A heavy, forward-slanted display face built from chunky, angular shapes with deliberately uneven edges. Strokes feel cut and notched, with frequent step-like corners, wedge terminals, and small gaps or abrasions that create a rough, stenciled impression. Counters are compact and irregular, and the overall rhythm is punchy and mechanical rather than smooth, with slightly inconsistent widths and lively texture across the line.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture and attitude are an advantage—posters, headlines, title cards, packaging callouts, and logo-style wordmarks. It can also work well for game UI headings or event branding, especially when a gritty, kinetic feel is desired; for longer text, the rough edges and tight counters can become visually tiring.
The tone is loud and mischievous, like hand-cut signage or a hacked-together title treatment. Its rough interruptions and hard angles give it a gritty, action-forward attitude that reads as playful but aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver an instant jolt of personality through rough, cut-out geometry and a strong slant, prioritizing impact and motion over neutrality. Its consistent use of notches and distressed breaks suggests a purposeful “built” or “hacked” aesthetic meant to stand out in display applications.
Uppercase forms show strong geometric construction (notably squared bowls and sharp diagonals), while lowercase keeps the same chopped texture for continuity. Numerals are blocky and emphatic, matching the uppercase weight and maintaining the same notched, distressed detailing.
