A sharply faceted, irregular display face with chunky, high-contrast strokes and frequent wedge-like cuts that interrupt stems and bowls. Forms read as hand-shaped or knife-cut: counters are angular and often asymmetric, terminals look clipped, and curves are suggested through many short straight segments. Proportions vary noticeably across glyphs, creating an uneven rhythm; several letters show exaggerated diagonals and occasional stencil-like bridges in enclosed shapes (notably the O/0 and related rounds). The overall texture is bold and graphic, with a deliberately rough edge rather than smooth, typographic refinement.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its jagged texture can read as a deliberate graphic choice—posters, headlines, title cards, album/merch graphics, and game or video titles. It can also work for logos or packaging accents when a handcrafted, slightly chaotic attitude is desired; it is less appropriate for long-form text due to its uneven rhythm and decorative cuts.
The font conveys a mischievous, offbeat energy—more zine-and-poster than book-and-interface. Its jagged geometry and inconsistent detailing feel crafted, improvised, and slightly chaotic, giving it a rebellious, comedic tone with a hint of retro sci‑fi or dungeon-prop signage.
Likely designed to imitate hand-cut lettering with deliberate irregularity and faceted geometry, prioritizing character and texture over neutrality. The consistent use of clipped terminals and broken bowls suggests an intention to create a distinctive, instantly recognizable display voice that feels experimental and boldly graphic.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same cut-and-facet language, but maintain distinct silhouettes; punctuation shown (period, colon, apostrophe) appears simplified and sturdy to match the heavy texture. Numerals are similarly angular, with the 0 closely echoing the octagonal O, helping keep a cohesive, emblem-like look in short strings.
