A heavy, block-based display face with irregular, rough-cut contours that make each letter feel carved or stamped rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are thick and compact, with counters and interior spaces frequently reduced to small slits or notches, creating a dense, near-solid silhouette. Corners alternate between blunt squareness and slightly rounded compression, while the outline wobble and uneven edges introduce a handworked rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase follows the same bulky geometry with minimal differentiation from the uppercase, and numerals keep the same compressed, cut-out detailing for a consistent texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, bold headlines, event flyers, brand marks, and packaging where a rough, handmade texture is desirable. It can also work for stickers, merch graphics, or title cards, especially at larger sizes where the cut-in details remain visible.
The overall tone is loud, gritty, and mischievous—like a distressed poster headline or a DIY stencil pulled from rough material. Its irregular cuts and crowded interior spaces read as intentionally imperfect, giving a street-art or comic-prop energy that feels informal and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a deliberately distressed, hand-cut finish, turning simple block letterforms into a textured graphic element. Its collapsed interior openings and uneven contours suggest a goal of creating a near-solid, stamp-like presence that reads instantly from a distance while feeling raw and human-made.
In continuous text, the dense fills and small apertures create a strong black mass with a distinctive mottled texture along the baselines and shoulders. Letter separation stays clear, but the reduced counters and rugged edges make it most effective where impact matters more than fine readability.
