A heavy, blocky sans with faceted, chiseled contours and frequent angled terminals. Strokes maintain a generally even thickness while edges break into sharp planes, giving each letter a cut-paper or carved look rather than a smooth geometric build. Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with a tall lowercase presence and simplified interior shapes; counters are often tight and polygonal. The overall rhythm is intentionally irregular, with subtle variations in width, baseline behavior, and letter shapes that read as hand-made rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, merchandise, and bold packaging statements. It can also work for comic or game-adjacent titling where a rough, handmade texture adds character, but it will feel dense and visually noisy in long body copy.
The font communicates a loud, mischievous energy—part comic display, part rough street poster. Its jagged geometry and uneven cadence create a playful aggression that feels rebellious and attention-seeking, more about personality than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through mass and angular, hand-cut geometry, trading typographic polish for a distinctive, expressive texture. It prioritizes immediacy and attitude, aiming to look crafted and energetic in display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular construction language, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive even when the texture gets busy. Numerals follow the same chunky, faceted approach, staying legible at display sizes while preserving the rough-hewn aesthetic.
