A heavy, all-caps-dominant display design built from blocky, angular shapes with irregular cuts and notches. Strokes are mostly straight and orthogonal, but many terminals are fractured or sliced, creating sharp counters and occasional stencil-like gaps. Curves are minimized in favor of faceted geometry, and several letters show asymmetrical inner cutouts that make the silhouette feel carved rather than drawn. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a rough, hand-cut rhythm in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event promotions, game or film titles, and logo/wordmark experiments where texture and attitude are desirable. It can also work for album art and packaging where an intentionally rough, cut-out aesthetic supports the concept, but it’s less appropriate for long passages or small UI text.
The overall tone is loud and unruly, with a mischievous, slightly aggressive edge. Its jagged details and broken interiors read as experimental and rebellious, giving headlines a kinetic, glitchy energy rather than a polished, corporate voice.
This font appears designed to simulate a bold, hand-cut or chiseled look—like letterforms hacked from solid blocks and then distressed with sharp internal breaks. The goal seems to be maximum personality and visual bite, using irregular geometry and disrupted counters to create a distinctive, one-off display voice.
The lowercase set largely echoes the uppercase construction, keeping the same blocky framework and irregular voids, which helps maintain consistency despite the intentional roughness. Numerals follow the same carved-block logic, prioritizing silhouette impact over smooth reading in small sizes.
