A heavy, sharply angular display face built from faceted, wedge-like strokes and irregular polygonal counters. Terminals and joins feel cut with a knife rather than drawn, producing abrupt corners, notches, and occasional inner cutouts that act like punch-outs. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with uneven widths, lively stance, and a slightly “wobbly” baseline rhythm that adds to the handmade look. The overall texture is dense and graphic, prioritizing silhouette and impact over smooth curves or refined modulation.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as poster headlines, music artwork, game or comic-style titles, and punchy promotional graphics. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a jagged, handcrafted edge, especially when set large with generous spacing.
The font reads as mischievous and intentionally unruly—more punk flyer than polite signage. Its jagged geometry and inconsistent rhythm create a sense of kinetic energy, comedy, and mild menace, like a cartoon “danger” label or a DIY zine headline. It feels loud and attention-seeking, with a distinctly offbeat personality.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum personality through irregular, chiseled geometry—capturing the feel of cut-paper or carved signage in a bold, graphic silhouette. The goal is expressive texture and novelty character rather than neutrality or continuous reading comfort.
The angular counters and frequent triangular cut-ins can cause small interior spaces to close up at smaller sizes, so it performs best when given room. Spacing and letter shapes are deliberately non-uniform, which enhances character in short bursts but can amplify visual noise in long passages.
