A heavy, block-built sans with sharply angled corners, faceted joins, and mostly straight strokes that feel cut from solid shapes. Counters are often rectangular and tight, and several glyphs show deliberate notches, bite-outs, and wedge terminals that create a slightly fractured silhouette. The proportions and widths vary noticeably across letters, giving the line a lively, uneven rhythm despite the consistently dense stroke mass. Overall spacing reads compact and the forms prioritize strong silhouette over smooth curves.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, event titles, album art, branding marks, and packaging where bold geometry can carry the composition. It can work for short bursts of text—taglines, labels, and callouts—when a rugged, graphic voice is desired.
The tone is assertive and gritty, with a DIY, cut-paper energy that also leans into arcade and comic display territory. Its jagged geometry and intentional irregularities feel energetic and a bit rebellious, making text appear punchy and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
Likely designed as an expressive display sans that emphasizes strong silhouettes and chiseled, cut-out detailing to create a distinctive, high-impact texture. The variable widths and intentional irregularities suggest an aim for character and motion over strict typographic uniformity.
The design’s signature comes from its repeated use of chamfers, internal rectangular cutouts, and occasional stencil-like gaps, which add texture at larger sizes. In longer passages the angular details become a dominant pattern, so it reads best when the viewer can appreciate the shapes rather than rely on conventional letterforms alone.
